Is it possible to create a custom View Type?

Question

I've created some custom XSL and CAML (2007 and 2010 compatible) which is working quite cheerfully in a View on a custom List. However, I need to be able to let users add this form of View to any list they like, as if it was just another View Type (like a calendar or such).

Is there a way to create a custom View Type in order to achieve this? Unfortunately I'll need the features associated with this functionality (custom Create and Modify View pages), so it's unlikely alternative workarounds will be appropriate.

Answer 1

The only way I can see, is to edit the View Selector ASPX page and have some code which creates the view for that List if it doesn't exist and then select that view.. Sorry Mate, seems you're stuck with this one..
