Hi,

Is there any *official* way of adding my own form element types - e.g. '#type' => 'directory'.
I would like to write my own rendering and basic processing of the type.

Thanks in advance.

see http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_elements

Then define a theme function for your element type. Example:


function modulename_elements() {
  $type['directory'] = array();
  return $type;
}

function theme_directory($element) {
  // Your output.
}
