Magento: Price Field in Adminhtml product form

Question

I would like to add a price field into my admin form under my product edit page, but I cannot add a “price” type into my fieldset.

$fieldset->addField($attribute->getAttributeCode(), 'price', array(
             'label'     => Mage::helper('mymod')->__($attribute->getFrontendLabel()),
             'class'     => $attribute->getIsRequired()?'required-entry':'',
             'required'  => $attribute->getIsRequired()?true:false,
             'name'      => $attribute->getAttributeCode(),
             'note'     => Mage::helper('mymod')->__($attribute->getNote()),
        ));

it is giving the following error.

Fatal error: Class 'Varien_Data_Form_Element_Price' not found in .. /lib/Varien/Data/Form/Abstract.php on line 144

PS. I am digging the code in

Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form

where in function

_setFieldset

It can use the price as fieldType.

Edit @ 11/6:

Digging into _setFieldset(), from the first line

$this->_addElementTypes($fieldset);

will invoke an implementable function

function _getAdditionalElementTypes()

to add additional data type (such as price, gallary..) not in the given list.

Button

Checkboxes

Column
Date

Fieldset
File
Gallery
Hidden

Label

Multiline
Multiselect
