vb6 menu editor equivalent

[Mel]

What control do I use for a menu on a web page? How do I add a check
box to an menu item? I have a menu called Chart and beneath it I have
a menu item called Publish. I want to display a checked check box
when Publish is selected and an unchecked box when it's selected
again. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

(using asp.net 2.0, vb.net 2005)

Okay I've got the menu control. So here's a dumb question...
I have two menus with 2 items in each menu. When I add a check box
control to the DynamicItemTemp late the check boxes appear in both
menus next to every menu item. What if I only want a check box next
to one of the menu items in only one of the menus?

Sorry, but I don't understand what the problem is.. If you want only one of
the menus to show a checkbox, then apply the checkbox style to only one of
them...

How? This is my code, and it shows a check box beneath both menus
next to every menu item.

Ah - I see what you mean. I thought when you were talking about two menus
you meant you had two menu controls.

To achieve what you want isn't particularly pretty, but it isn't
particularly difficult either.

1) In the page's code-behind, add the following Dictionary<defi nition at
the top of the class:

protected Dictionary<stri ng, booldicShowHide CheckBox = new
Dictionary<stri ng, bool>();

2) Add the following code to the code-behind:

protected void Page_Init(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
dicShowHideChec kBox.Add("Copy" , true);
dicShowHideChec kBox.Add("New", false);
dicShowHideChec kBox.Add("Open" , true);
dicShowHideChec kBox.Add("Previ ew", false);
dicShowHideChec kBox.Add("Publi sh", true);
}

Modify the boolean values as required.

3) Modify the checkbox markup as follows:

<%# Eval("Text") %>&nbsp;<asp:Ch eckBox ID="chkPreview " runat="server"
Visible='<%# dicShowHideChec kBox[Eval("Text").To String()] %>' />

I have just one menu control. It has two menus in it called "Job" and
"Chart". Beneath the "Chart" menu I only want to display a checkbox
next to the "Preview" menu item.

I have just one menu control.

I understand that now.

Beneath the "Chart" menu I only want to display a checkbox next to the
"Preview" menu item.

I've already told you how to do that - did you try it...?
