collapsible panel in a form - need help

[ajm]

I am trying to put in a collapsible panel into a form similar to that found half way down the page at: https://register.cc-hubwoo.com/CompanyInformation.aspx?

its the panel below "Select the Products & Services your company provides based on:" and for UNSPSC. these are united nations codes used to standardise goods and services purchased by companies. Would this be done using dependent drop down boxes or is there a better way?

There's definitely no such control that I know of that would give you this sort of functionality in 'standard' Excel VBA.

Are you just trying to simulate something lik eit?

I think using listboxes and comboboxes is the closest you'd get to that sort of thing, and yes they would probably be dependent.

I actually thing there might be a listview or even a treeview involved for the 'panel'.

i would love to have this exact sort of thing but will settle happily for a simulation of it. we will eventually move to a web based solution but need something now to get us through. i'll have a search through my files for the lists/combos as its been a few jobs since i used them last.

That's probably ajax at work at the website

You *could* have a set of 2 or 3 dependent combos, with the second and third reloaded based on what's selected in the first...

You could definitely create something but I don't think you would get the hiding part easily and I think you would need a screed of code for the animation.

If you would be happy with listboxes and comboxes it shouldn't be too hard, at least to display the data anyway.

You are kind of limited format wise.

Don't think you need AJAX.

I just created a treeview with several nodes in standard ASP, without an XML datasource - I justed added the nodes 'manually'.
