Thanks for the reply Tracy,
I think the simplest way to fill the list in a combo box will be to use a series of arrays that get updated as each choice is made.
I am trying to figure out where in the code to place the select to array statement so that the combo box can find ithe array
Maybe you have a better approach.
Thanks,
Joe

Looking at what you have I would consider using a series of drop downs for each part. If you only have three parts to the location you can setup the selection screen in advanced. You can populate and enable the next combobox quickly. If each subset could have additional subsets, you may need to add or show things dynamically.
If you feel the two click method for each part isn't what you want, you could use a series listboxes going to the right for each part.
The other might be an <<shudder>> ActiveX control. The ProjectExplorer project Doug Hennig has made available uses the TreeView ActiveX control. https://github.com/DougHennig/ProjectExplorer

I am an infrequent user of VFP and have never mastered the GUI.
I need to allow a user to choose storage locations from the structure below for several fields on a screen where the possible choices are in a structure several layers deep.
Is there a control to handle this or a simple way to roll my own?
This is a simple representation of the locations to chose from.:
Shop/Cabinet/Shelf1
Shop/Cabinet/ Drawer1
Shop/Bench/Shelf1
Office/Bench/Drawer1
Office/Cabinet/ Drawer1
Office/Cabinet/Shelf1
Office/Bench/Shelf1
Office/Bench/Drawer1
Trailer/Bench/Drawer1
Trailer/Cabinet/ Drawer1
Trailer/Cabinet/Shelf1
TrailerBench/Shelf1
Trailer/Bench/Drawer1
Even though the Drawers and Shelves appear to repeat they are all different and can add up to 150 choices for a location in my office. I clearly do not want to scroll through the entire list to make a choice.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
