Dropdownlist creates content in another dropdownlist

[ola123]

yup i suck..

How would you go about creating a dropdownlist that whenever an option is selected from it, it creates the contents for another Dropdownlist?

Thanks in advance

you would have to fire an event on the SelectedIndexChanged of the first dropdown and pass some parameter to a sub (or hardcode if blocks) to fill the second list.

One possible work around, if they are static, is to create ENUMS out of your values, when you select something from combo A simply change the Enum that you are "hooked up"
to for combo B.

understand what you are saying (except for ENUMS what's that)

and an example of a script doing that would be nice..

Oh i'm a beginner by the way.....

Enum = Enumeration
Enumeration = Text with numeric Values (for comparing)

There should be a recent post (because i answered it) about combo boxes with value display text) it has an example about binding an Enumeration to a drop down list.

Example Code:

Enum Grades
A = 100
B = 89
C = 79
D = 69
F = 64
End Enum

Sub GetGradeLetter(intGrade) as string
  Select Case True
   Case intGrade > Grades.A
     Return "Cheater"
   Case intGrade > Grades.B
     Return "A"
   Case intGrade > Grades.C
     Return "B"
   Case intGrade > Grades.D
     Return "C"
   Case intGrade > Grades.F
     Return "D"
   Case Else
     Return "Loser" 'Do not let this get into production
  End Select
End Sub
