Unable to add fields or template parts to a SharePoint-based templ

J

JoelB

I created a template part that lets the user do some nitfy filtering on a
SharePoint list (hosted in a multiple-selection list box). There's a textbox
and a checkbox, each bound to fields under MyFields; the list box's data is
then filtered based on the MyField values.

However, when I try to use the template part in a template that's based on a
SharePoint schema (i.e. - an information panel), it won't let me bind the
part to anything in the template. ("cannot be bound to the selected field or
group")

I can't do the filter functionality in the template itself, because all of
the datasource objects are locked (so I can't add my underlying fields).

Can anyone answer some or any of the following:

1. How can I bind my template part to my SharePoint template?; or,
2. How can I add fields to the SharePoint template so I can store the
temporary values used by the filters; or,
3. Is there a better way to approach this?!

TIA,
Joel
