Nested CheckBoxList controls ?

[baden]

Scenario:

[] Category
[] Subcat
[] Subcat
[] Subcat
[] Category 2
[] Subcat
[] Subcat
...

The checkboxes @ the category level are to select all from a given category.

Originally, I created a nested repeater, using two queries, linking the tables through Relations() and using simple checkboxes.

What I think would be optimal would be to use a CheckBoxList Control for the subcategories, but I've been unsuccessful in doing this so far.

I want to retrieve db values to relate to given checkboxes - checked=t/f.

Can someone point me to a good ref or give me a great ASP.Net C# example please?


Thanks.

I couldn't find any way to nest checkboxlists. You can add a listitem on the top of each group "Check All" And when the page posts back you can check if that option is checked and select all in the group. Also you can use JavaScrip if you don't want a post back done.

You could probably nest the checkboxes by using nested repeaters

Man, it would be nice to be able to nest checkbox lists. I did manage to do it, but not w/ the checkbox list. I'll write an FAQ.

I guess another option would be to use a TreeView control and turn the checkboxes on for each node. This way the functionality is already created for you.
