Looking for a control....

Brad Pears - 14 Feb 2005 15:32 GMT
I am working on a project where I have a form that I want to be divided into
two panes...

In the left pane, I would like a scrolling control that would allow me to
load it with applicable options that the user can scroll through (similiar
to the way a web browser app may work). Then once the option is selected, I
would like a control on the right hand pane to display data - depending on
the option the user selected in the left pane... Once again, I would like
this to be a scrolled control because there may be too much data to be
displayed on the screen... I am not referring to a multi line form ( as in a
one-many  form) but rather some type of scrolled form where I can load
whatever data I want. This particular form may also include a multi-line
(one-many) sub-form in it...

Is there a "web" like control available that I could use to do this type of
thing?

This app may wind up becoming a web app down the road, hence the reason I
would like to design it with that particular "look and feel"...

Thanks,

Brad

www.asp.net hosts a ton of controls that you may peruse to see if you find
one appropriate for your use. An alternative approach is to simply use a
standard control and embed it in a div or span tag. Then set the overflow
attribute of the tag to force scrollbars to appear.
