Start with setting dropDownFactory=Tree. There might be some other things that need fixing though.

I really like the idea of having a hierarchical menu that looks exactly like the tree in this example. I just want it to drop down and be a menu like the combo box. I detest the windows file manager interface (because of its inefficient use of screen real-estate) and I dont like cascading menu's because I get really annoyed having to slow down and use my mouse in slow motion just so I can get to the sub-menu I want. I think the drop down tree hiearchy within a combobox solves both of these problems. 1). Its a great use of screen real-estate --- if you are not using it it takes up practically no room and 2) the hierarchy is persistent and I dont have to be a jedi master with my mouse....and I dont have to move %80 down and to the right to get the menu I want. So would it be possible to do a tree in a combo box? Or, if thats impossible, I guess I can just put the tree on a application bar and use it like a menu? brad
