[Typo3-dev] DAM: category-array for own ext

[Ingo Schommer]

hi there!

i'm trying to code a html-dropdown with DAM-categories for a custom 
extension (with indentation and sorting). example:

<select>
<option>cat1</option>
<option>  cat1_1</option>
<option>  cat1_2</option>
<option>    cat1_2_1</option>
<option>cat2</option>

i bet there's a way to get a multidimensional array of this 
"category-tree" via the DAM-ext...but i'm completely overwhelmed with 
its multitude of classes :/

after a bit of codebrowsing, i think it should be somewhere in these 
classes:
- tx_dam_stdselectionCategory
- tx_dam_browseTree
- tx_dam_db
but i'm *slightly* confused about the code... :D

any ideas?
