Choosing elements of a specific hierarchy?

Sunday 13 April 2003 4:20:50 am

I'd like to do something like the following:

Option_container
option_instance_1
option_instance_2
option_instance_3

(Basically a custom new class that holds options whereas all options are contained in option_container).

Now I'd like to have a type that is like enum but always lets the user chose the elements stored belov option_container.

Enum doesn't cut it as I need to have the same options for different classes which would need to have the options reentered all the time (additionally, I need to store some more data per option than just a name).

You can do this with a custom module and a new datatype.
The module would handle the creation of the option lists and the datatype would refer to one your option items making it easy to use in multiple classes.

I would recommend looking at either the option or enum datatype for example code.
