dynamic listboxes

[aaron]

How can I change the data in a listbox on a form, which is based on radio
buttons ? For example, I have 2 radio buttons, one is HARDWARE and one is
SOFTWARE. When you click on the HARDWARE button I want to load the listbox
w/ data from the hardware table, and conversly, if you click the SOFTWARE
button I want to load the listbox w/ data from the software table.

Any ideas ??

Is the data going to exist on the server? Do you need to run a query on
the server to get the data, or will all of it be sent down inside a
hidden textarea or something?

I can think of several ways. If you're a DevX Premier member, my VBPJ
article "Solving the Dependent Listbox Problem" on DevX
(http://www.devx.com/premier/mgznarch...200/id0200.asp)
should help. If not, you can read at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/pe...dependent.htm.
Basically, the article discusses using XML to alter the content in one list
based on a user selection in another list, which is very close to your
problem.
