Hi,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....xclasstopic.asp (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsmessageboxclasstopic.asp)

Can u look at the above page. On the left hand side, they have a drop down menu. If u click on the main text, the menu expands.

Do u know how I can make the same menu, and using what technology.

kind regards

DHTML and Javascript can do that.

WebMonkey (http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/index.html) uses a similar idea for some of thier site navigation (the HOWTO LIBRARY area).
There's a tutorial on how they did it here (http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/01/12/index1a.html).

css/xhtml dropdowns (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns) are much easier & more lightweight.

oh nm...you're talking about the tree thingy on the left, huh?
not sure about that, really. but the suckerfish drop-downs are a nice tutorial.

anyway, umm...I'll try to see
