Is it possible to create dynamic controls

Hi,
I try to create a site (by using WebDev12) that can use taxonomies. A taxonomy is a way to sort and categorize content. The taxonomy consists of a vocabulary and respective terms, and belongs to an entity.
Example:
- Entity: Contact
- Vocabulary: Contact Type
- terms: Friend, Family, Employee, ...

By doing this, a privileged user can create own taxonomies and link them to Entities (physical tables). But to show the taxonomy on the Entity (contact) Page, a control (list box, or drop down) must be created dynamically when the page is initialized.
The number of controls that must be created dynamically depends on the number of linked taxonomy to entities.

I'm new to windev/webdev and wasn't able to figure out on how to do this.

Best Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Repeat after me..."The looper is your friend". :-) Seriously, check out the looper control. If I'm understanding you correctly, you simply have a listbox / combobox per looper cell.

Cheers!

Hi Chris,
WBDEV generates HTML. And you can generate whatever HTML code too.
(A global server procedure that generates your HTMLcode , best target for your code is probably within a div tag. You need DOM know how. )

Otherwise ; Try to use ControlClone() . I say "try" because the WEBDEV online help is fuzzy regarding this topic.
