External urls for pages

We need to create external urls for a page using the editor interface and the function "Shortcut / External link". The problem is that our own code that tries to create menues does not get the "Open in new window" setting. Is this part visible through some property or field?

Yes you can get that information from the Property PageTargetFrame in the PageData object. e.g. page.Property["PageTargetFrame"].Value However, this value is returned as an integer where 1 = _blank, 2 = _top. I'm not sure if there is a better way to get the right value but I usually use a switch statement like the following


switch( page.Property["PageTargetFrame"].Value.ToString() )
{
    case "1":
        return "_blank";
    case "2":
        return "_top";
    default:
        return "_self";
}

Hope this helps.

Oh, now I see it! It was under Property and not close to PageLink or LinkURL in the documentation. Thanks! /Johan
