Finally!

It’s taken me a few days, but I figured out how to implement one of our file selector controls on the web. The control is essential a multi-column list box: one column contains the file names, the other contains a check box. The catch is, the file names have a hierarchical structure, so I couldn’t use a flat table. There are a bunch of tree controls that have check boxes next to the left of the node icon, but that looks really bad in our current implementation. So I had to write a custom control that extends the Infragistics UltraWebGrid and implements those features.
Why not just make an ASPX page with a grid on it? Well, our wizard framework is based on our custom form builder framework, so the select control had to be an actual web control that can be added to the form builder. It wasn’t incredibly difficult, but presented some interesting challenges.
