    Option Buttons Alternatives

    Hey Everyone

    On a form I have to give a user a lot of option, I dont wanna put a lot of option buttons or one list box with all the options in it.

    I was considering a Treeview...but it looks graphically dull, any suggestions...or a control that I could use (in your opinion) so that it looks good and works good...

    Gimme some ideas...

    well option buttons and check boxes are made for that sort of thing.. i mean they wouldn't call it an option button if it wasn't for options

    if the form looks cluttered.. think about using a tab strip or tabbed dialog control to spread the options out over multiple tabs

    Perhaps Combobox will work for you.

    Cluttered

    Or have drop down "layer" for the option buttons/checkboxes.
