    Get Form from FieldViewModel ?

    I am creating a customised dropdown field using the FieldTypes in a custom Theme.

    FieldType.DropDownList.cshtml uses a FieldViewModel and I need to find the form that the fields are children of, because I need to look up some values using the Form-Name.

    Anyone got a clue on how to get a reference to the Form from the FieldViewModel of the field?

    Ha! - answered my own question.

    Fortunately, the requirement is from the Themed FieldType being called from the Themed Form, as:

    Html.Partial(FormThemeResolver.GetFieldView(Model, f), f)

    So, I just needed to extend that out with a ViewDataDictionary and pass what I needed to the Themed FieldType as:

    Html.Partial(FormThemeResolver.GetFieldView(Model, f), f, new ViewDataDictionary { {"myKey", myValue }} )

    Perhaps not the most elegant of solutions, but it works for now.
