What I would like to do is create a Drop-Down Tree Control and have the final selection allow me to open a PDF.
The PDF's will be stored in a directory....i.e. C:\PDFs\Public (directory structure is just an example). The tree will be 3 levels deep (see below).
Goal.....
Create a Drop-Down tree control that allows me to select the Type of Meeting, Year and then the month.
The CRLF structure would look something like this...
Employee Summaries.2010.January
Employee Summaries.2010.February
Employee Summaries.2010.March
Employee Summaries.2011.January
Employee Summaries.2011.February
Employee Summaries.2011.March
Management Minutes.2010.January
Management Minutes.2010.February
Management Minutes.2010.March
Management Minutes.2011.January
Management Minutes.2011.February
Management Minutes.2011.March
When viewing the drop down, it should look something like this (without the underscores)...
Employee Summaries
___2010
______January
______February
______March
___2011
______January
______February
______March
Management Minutes
___2010
______January
______February
______March
___2011

______March
My questions...
1. Is it be best to build the CRLF list from a table? If yes, is the best way to get the table information into a CRLF list by using table.External_Record_Content_Get?
2. If using a table is it best to separate the levels?
Fields = Level1, Level2 and Level3
3. How do I link the PDF to the particular selected record? PDFs would be stored in single directory and names something like 2010_January.pdf, 2010_February.pdf, etc.
If someone would go as far as creating an example, that would be fantastic although I will take anything anyone has to offer.
