Code-first Item Tab field

Hi,

In 9.5.1 there is a new itemfield introduced, the Item Tab.
When I create a item field from the Admin with this type it works fine.

But I can't use it on a code-first ItemType. I can't find an editor attribute to use.

I've tried to use the regular ItemType editor and set the EditorType to ItemTypeTabEditor. But then it turns into a regular ItemType editor.
Like this:

[ItemTypeEditor("Image", "ParagraphImage", EditorType = typeof(ItemTypeTabEditor))]

public string ImageID { get; set; }

Am I missing an attribute? Or is there another way of declaring the editor to get it working?

Br, Jesse

Hi Jesse,

It seems a solution is to define the new attribute in your code:

    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
    public class ExampleItemTabEditorAttribute : ItemTypeEditorAttribute
    {
        public ExampleItemTabEditorAttribute(string name, string itemType) : base(name, itemType)
        {
            EditorType = typeof(ItemTypeTabEditor);
        }
        protected override void InitializeEditorConfiguration(ItemField itemField)
        {
            var itemListEditor = new ItemTypeTabEditor() { ItemType = ItemType };
            itemField.EditorConfiguration = itemListEditor.GetParametersToXml(false);
        }
    }

Best regards,

Vladimir
