The combo box... Code: combo 10, 10 41 40 100, drop To populate the combo box... Code: alias view.cat { did -a connx 10 Computing did -a connx 10 City Chats did -a connx 10 Fun & Games did -a connx 10 General did -a connx 10 Interests did -a connx 10 Lifestyles did -a connx 10 News did -a connx 10 Peers did -a connx 10 Religion did -a connx 10 Roleplay did -a connx 10 Romance did -a connx 10 Sports did -a connx 10 Teens } What I want to happen on a click in the combo box is it will list the categories for that chat network. The alias to open the categories is /_list Code: alias _list { var %dll = $+(",$mircdirdlls\nHTMLn_2.95.dll") var %cat = $+(http://www.network.net/category.php?cat=,$1) if ($window(@CHATRoomList)) { window -c @CHATRoomList } window -pk0 @CHATRoomList echo -a $dll(%dll,attach,$window(@CHATRoomList).hwnd) echo -a $dll(%dll,handler,_list.handler) echo -a $dll(%dll,navigate,%cat) } So e.g. to open the Computing category the alias is /_list CP, to open the City Chats category is /_list CC etc etc I think it needs to look something like this... Code: on *:dialog:connx:sclick:10: { did -c connx 10 $computing $did(10) /_list CP } But I am lost, I have tried a hundred different ideas, and nothing is working for me. TIA for any help.

There are many ways of doing this, and you may already have it. Presuming that you create a 2nd combobox (11) with the category codes in it, and that the codes match up with the category names in combobox (10), then you should use something like Code: on *:dialog:connx:sclick:10:{ _list $did(11,$did(10).sel) } If you have the codes stored in another manner, post how they are stored, and this code can be re-written.

I didn't have the codes stored anywhere, I don't know what I was thinking with that now, I have tried so many things I just had a huge mess. I don't really want another combo box, it will just confuse the issue having 2 of them for the same thing, what I have done for now though is create a combo box like you suggested and just gave it a size of 0 0 so it isn't seen. combo 11, 0 0 0 0, I am assuming that there is going to be a better way of doing that though? Thanks again, Rick
