Branched Comboboxes possible?

[Hierophant]

Something that would be very useful for me to be able to do, would be to have a combo, which when selected drops down and has more options, which when clicked on, drop down adjacent to the first drop down. Basically similar to the way the Windows START button works.. it drops up though eh?

ie

PRODUCTS>(COMBO1)
Wood
Sand
PLANTS>(COMBO2)
Viburnum grandiflora
Oxilobium illicifolia

Can it be done!?

Any info appreciated!

search "dynamic comboboxes" on this forum and there are loads of example db's

Hmm..

I know how to use cascading comboboxes etc..

What I need to do is the same concept, but within ONE combobox.

The best analogy is the windows start button system, where you hit start, then go to programs, and another list of options "branches" off to the left... etc etc etc.

Can this NOT be done?! Perhaps there is a special control designed for this?


Surely this can be done. Someone must know!

Hehe, thanks.
