Solved button/menu navigation with sub choices

[donkey9972]

Hi, sorry I wasn't exactly sure what subject line to put. Essentially what I am curious about is if it is possible to create buttons or a menu on the left side of a form and when it is clicked it will open a sub-menu. BUT the main menu does not hide.

I am sorry but I do not have a design or example other than what I am putting here.

Example:

Turtles
|_Food
|_Habitat
|_Lifespan

etc....
I have been looking all over everything to try and find something that allows this or can do this, but I have had no luck yet.

One option would be a Treeview control. Search for samples here and on the internet.

Another would be Navigation forms.

I have recently been playing around with the navigation forms and I have gotten to do part of what I am wanting, but this part is the final part for me to start working with things how I want. I will google Tree view as you have suggested. Thank you.

Maybe you can also take a look at this demo.

Data Driven Accordion Menu

This is just an attempt to get Daniel Pinault's data driven menu working using the same html file shown in his part 2 video where he demonstrates it working. I put the html file in a folder called html and used a function to set the Edgebrowser0 ControlSource to the current path. This works, but...

For this purpose I create a navigation style menu using toggle buttons and a subform where the source object is determined by the toggle button selected. Where I need a submenu, the subform also has its own navigation menu created in the same way. It’s easy to create and works well.
In theory you could go several layers deep using this approach.
