Is there anyone who can explain how to make a datatype?

I want to make a multi-select box (you know, when you press control you can select more options), and then lets it insert the values comma seperated.

Is there anyone who knows if this can be done, or has something similar?

Perhaps there is code here that can help. I know I have code that takes the options and stores it in the database as comma sperated values and then reads from the database to display the results.

http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/Misc/DynamicForms.htm

here is a piece:

                       Case "System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBoxList"
                        tempCheckBoxList = CType(Item, CheckBoxList)
                        objItemType.ItemTypeName = "CheckBoxList"
                        objItemType.ItemName = tempCheckBoxList.ID

                        Dim strSelectedItem As String = ""
                        Dim objListItemCollection As ListItemCollection = tempCheckBoxList.Items
                        Dim objListItem As ListItem
                        For Each objListItem In objListItemCollection
                            If objListItem.Selected Then
                                strSelectedItem += objListItem.Value.Replace(",", "") & ","
                            End If
                        Next

                        If strSelectedItem <> "" Then
                            strSelectedItem = strSelectedItem.Substring(0, (strSelectedItem.Length - 1))
                        End If

                        objItemType.ItemValue = strSelectedItem

That would probably help, so thank, but what I'm more interested in is how to add a datatype like this to the profiles.

So a user can login and go to his/her profile and for instance select two colors from one list:

 

 

 

And then it would insert something like "Footertekst, Portfolio" in the field

I thought you could perhaps do this by adding a new datatype to the lists module, but I don't now how...
