Hi Martin:
I hope that will be the case. However, the sites I visited required me to
hit enter to check or uncheck a box, ugly! I hope there is a TreeView
setting that will allow me to hit the space bar to check or uncheck the
boxes without requiring a postback each time I check or uncheck a box. Then,
when done I would like to click a submit button and have the Code-Behind
file check the list of CheckedNodes so I can process the selected items.
Either that or perhaps another control like a DropDown list populated with
CheckBoxes but that looks really messy to implement as well, sigh.
Do you know if there is an Asp.net control similar to the Windows ListView?
I've not looked into that yet as the checked TreeView would be perfect if I
can get it to work properly so am reading up on dynamically populating the
control nodes from a Sql DataBase right now and waiting to hear from a
couple of the gurus if they have anything before I give up.

Just a thought: will spacebar toggle your checkboxes?

Subject: Asp.net MultiSelection Control of some kind
Hi Guys:
I want to have a multi-selection control like a TreeView with Checkboxes
or something. Looking at examples of checkbox TreeViews I found I had to
hit enter on the check box and then my ScreenReader was left in Forms mode
and I had to do the ScreenReader Key combo to get back to normal reading
mode.The WebSite processed each check and uncheck likely as an individual
postback. This might be able to be avoided using JavaScript but is there
an easy way to just have a client select several options and then read and
test the options selected on a button lick postback?
I like the idea of a TreeView or DropDownList as the container since when
closed they provide little clutter, both visual and audio.
The content is something llike a tree structure with the names of
Industries grouped under Sector parents.
So I would have a sector like Finance with the child industries of
Banking, RealEstate, Trusts etc. . .
Then a sector of Utilities with Electrical, Gas And Oil and Water as the
children.
The client might check various children. After the client hits a Submit
button the code behind file will test to see which industries have been
selected for further processing. Perhaps AutoCascade of the child
elements when a Sector is checked would be a nice feature and I have seen
examples of this using JavaScript but would like to avoid that for now if
I can just get a basic multi-selection control built using Asp.net. Do
you have Any ideas, code snipets or other suggestions?
