is it possible to have one control in another???

[harris_moin]

I want to have one control in another. Like when i open a dropdown list i want to see a tree there. That is tree control is being added in a drop down list. Is it possible in web applications using asp net.

If someone has worked in Sql Analysis Server and browsed the cube am sure they will know what kind of functionality i am willing to have in my web page.

any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

You would have to create your own control for that probably using DHTML, if it is even possible to do that. There are no other options.

Hmmmm

But what is the controls property for, in all the controls of a webpage like

DropDownList1.Controls.Add();

anyone know what that supposed to do.

But the problm is that those generate HTML controls. Web browsers wouldnt know what to do with a treeview inside a dropdown as there is no such thing in HTML.

Controls.Add is there because it inherits from a base class that contains that. Doesnt mean it can actually do anything.

Hmmmm just got a bit confused ... html controls you mean i can add a html textbox in a drop down list if i want ... ???

no..you still cant do that.HTML form controls CANNOT be put inside each other.
