Hi Again David:
I just saw a blurb in one of the posts about cloth as well as item and colors and the fact that there would be allot of selections.
You might not want to have check boxes for everything since that would be a whole lot of checking and navigation for the client.
If you intend on having Items and cloth and then colors for
each type of cloth then perhaps a Master / Detail layout with 3 list boxes.
This way the user:
mouse click Shirt, mouse click silk, mouse click Navy Blue and mouse click save choice button and done with that selection
User sees the selection added to a review TextBox or ListBox upon clicking the save button.
Repeat until done then click the Done button or hot key to process the selections.
This would seem the cleanest layout for a user I can think off the top of my head.
That many choices with a ton of checkboxes, even layed out in a tree view, would be more painful to muck with and reviewing selections would involve opening and closing and trying to go through all the various branches and sub branches to review what was selected.
