I know there is a great MultiPage Property on EPiCode, but sometimes I want to use a bit more simple MultiPage picker, and not be able to choose to link documents and other pages etc. So when I had some spare time a few weeks ago, I wrote my own multipage property.

To make the property as powerful as possible I’ve added the oppertunity to specify the startnode when you add a page, and there is also a possibility to choose wich PageTypes you are allowed to use. If you leave the help-text blank you will be able to add all pagetypes and the startnode will be the start page. Defining these values in help-text may not be the best way to go, but it’s the easiest way if you want it as dynamically as possible. I usually change where to define these values in my projects, etc a settings page or web.config, but in this case the help text is wonderful. 🙂

If the editor tries to add an invalid page type, the following msg will appear.

To get the selected pages when you code, just use this line

PageDataCollection pdc = Obg.SpecializedProperties.Util.MultiPage.GetPageDataCollectionByPropertyValue(CurrentPage["MultiPageContacts"]);

You can download the file here: MultiPage Property (binaries)

In this dll, my DropDown Property is also added.

Feel free to give me feedback on these properties or you want the source code etc.
