Using PropertyControlClassFactory.RegisterClass
Vote:
I'm trying to adapt a property edit control by using PropertyControlClassFactory.Instance.RegisterClass to register my new control. This seems to work and my control is called instead. However, what I want to do is to determine what page type the property is being edited for, and I think I should be able to do that by using the PropertyData.PageDefinitionID to get the PageDefinition object which has a PageTypeID property. But the PropertyData.PageDefinitionID is always 0. Othe properties of the PropertyData object seem to be initialized properly. Isn't it possible to do this or am I doing it wrong?

I think I found the problem. I'm trying to do this for one of the built-in properties, and they seem to lack the PageDefinitionID which seems fair.
Is there still a way to determine what page type the control is being loaded for?
Edit: One way (a bit ugly) is to add a dummy property to the page type and look for this property.

You should be able to do;
((PageBase)base.Page),CurrentPage.PageTypeID
