Posted on by shred67 16

Hello all,

 

Looking for some help with the following.

 

If I offer my app users a drop-down menu offering 3 or choices i.e. Electrical, Alarms, Solar. Is there any way that the next drop-down menu can show a sub category based on their choice. So if the pick Electrical in the first box they would be shown Lighting, Heater, Fan. If the pick Alarms from the first box they would be shown Fire, Security, Door, etc.

 

I hope I have explained this clearly enough for someone to help.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

    Switch(DropdownMenu1.Selected.Value,

    "Electrical",

    ["Liighting","Heater","Fan"],

    "Alarms",

    ["Fire","Security","Door"],

    "Other"

    ["list items here"]

    )

     

    This should do what you want. Make this the items property of the 2nd dropdown
