James,

I know nothing about SharpDevelop (didn't even know about it, so thanks for
that lead), but my guess is that someone has seen the need for such a
control and so has developed it. I am sure it would be just as easy (hard)
to build such a control in VB (not offering BTW <vbg), just hasn't been
done yet. Again, it is not the environment doing that, it is the foresight
of some particular developer ( the beauty of OpenSource).

I agree the .Net environment is powerful, but it also has many difficulties
for those of us working in the open market.

Regards

Bob

Thanks Bob for your quick response. I will use the method you
recommend.

The logic problem would still exist, but doesn't VB.NET provide for
more robust forms. Just messing around in SharpDevelop Windows forms I
was able to build a very complicated cascading menu in no time. Is
there a way I can make this form into a control that is usable on a
userform. I realize this may be 'nuking-it-out' but the interface is
very nice, and having this capability may be useful in the future.
Also, this may be a question for a SharpDevelop group?

Cheers,
James
