Split Combo Box (ala Access)
-
Was wondering if anyone has a starting point for a combo box that works similarly to Access' for ASP.NET (C# or VB.NET is fine). I have a table that looks like this (we're working with a real database, XML is to make it easy to talk about): ACCT Accounting HR Human Resources The idea is to have a drop-list like field showing just the abbreviation, but when the list is dropped, that would show both fields. Has anyone attempted something like this before? We'd prefer to avoid the commercial controls; I'm aware there are plenty that do this sort of thing. My current thought would be to use a div with a text box and an image. In onclick of the image, pop up a div with a table and border, and in onclick of the table set the text box. On the ASP.NET side of things, introduce a new server control that generates that markup (so that we can reuse it in other projects).
