Custom modules - development - howto

Hi people!

Is there somewhere I can find some information on how to develop custom modules?

The case is that I need to make a checkbox list (backend), where the user can select or deselect some items.

Making the dw:checkbox seems easy enough, but I can't seem to find any information on how to save the information once the paragraph is saved?

So any ideas on the specific problem is highly welcome, but I'd also like to find some information on custom module development in general.

Thank You all in advance

I think what I need is an explanation of dw:customcontrols.....

Hello,

First of all please check the "Documentation" section. Here is a link to the set of articles about Dynamicweb controls:

Also please have a look at the following article series about custom module development in Dynamicweb:

Thanks! I'll give it a look.

I already found most of what I needed in this pdf: http://engage.dynamicweb-cms.com/Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=%2FFiles%2FFiler%2FDeveloper%2FDownloadfiles%2FSoftware%2FDynamicweb+Developer.pdf

I found out that the most important thing I was missing was the ModuleSettings. Once I got the right field names into the value attribute, I was back on track.
