Can anyone answer my question?
Is it possible to place a droplist within another droplist, so that when
I select an item in the first droplist a further droplist appears from
that item. Hope you understand my problem.
Many Thanks
Neil.

Beware that until v6.1, the combobox did not work in modal widget
bases.

A combobox will be scrollable in some instances if the list extends
beyond the bounds of the parent base widget. It's also suggested in
the help documents that a comboox be used for new code over a droplist.
I don't know for sure if it will be scrollable under windows, as I've
only used it under Motif, but it's probably worth a shot.
