The whole thing remind me of the PropertyGrid class of C#. You can define a editor class for a custom type. So, are you saying that the feature that I'm requesting is under development, at least for simple types(boolean, enumeration)? Or can I create a feature request on JIRA? I see there is a related feature request: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-442 But there is no "parameter type" option in XWiki.WikiMacroParameterClass. So how to use it?

Hi,

I'm learning to implement a macro for Lightbox Application as suggested by Guillaume.
So far I've read: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingMacros
And I have a question. Is it possible to have other macro parameter types besides string? For examples, boolean, enumeration, filename, image, color. And it's even better to have color picker, image picker dialog automatically popped up when clicking.
I see the HTML macro have boolean parameters. How is it achieved?
Is is possible to reuse the image picker of the WYSIWYG editor?
Are you referring to the Insert Image wizard? The wizard itself is reusable. It might require some changes though since you want to open a wizard (Insert Image) from another wizard (Insert Macro) and wizards are currently modal (one at a time).
We are currently associating widgets to macro parameter types. Associating simple widgets like a color picker is easy. For instance we associate text input to strings and list box to boolean and enumerations. Associating dialog wizards might require some extra work.
Also, it might be desirable, as Jerome pointed out, to provide a way for a rendering macro to register its own custom edit dialog in WYSIWYG mode.
