The approach is promising with a few updates:
- Tried implementing it by inheriting from SelectRenderingForm and it did not work. No rendering items were being listed. Had to decompile Sitecore.Client.dll and copy the code from Sitecore.Shell.Applications.Dialogs.SelectRendering.SelectRenderingForm
- Had to comment the following line in OnLoad
this.Renderings.InnerHtml = this.RenderPreviews((IEnumerable<Item>)renderingOptions.Items);
- Found a few issues with the styles, could have be an updated style sheet for Sitecore 7.5, but had to add the following attributes to the tabstrip
Background="white" Padding="0px" style="position:absolute; width:100%;top:0px"Here is a detailed description of my implementation.
