listbox containing checkboxes

Question

Hi all,

I'm using asp.net mvc-2 and would like to know if there's a way to create a listbox with a checkboxlist inside of it?

Answer 1

I would recommend using a div styled like a listbox then you can have whatever you want in there.

<div style="overflow:auto;border:1px solid #336699;padding-left:5px">
  $$$WHATEVER YOU WANT$$$
  <%= Html.ListBox(“WhateverYouWant”, Model.WhateverList) %>
</div>

binds something like

var testList = new List<SelectListItem>();

//add SeleectListItems to testList

ViewData["WhateverYouWant"] = testList;
