Hi: A TreeView with checkable colors would be the correct tool for that job in
my opinion.
Is this a Windows Forms Project, Asp.net or something else?

I think listboxes or checkboxes would provide better usability.

If I, in short terms, would describe the feature I am trying to figure how
to, let me give this example.
Imagine we have three main levels. Let's for the ease of the example, say
they are:
Shirt
Pant
Socks
. Now imagine, we have subcategories of each, giving different colors, and
maybe even subcategories from there, giving the shades. So, the whole
structure, would look like this:
Shirt
Green
White
Blue
pant
green
red
black
socks
green
light
dark
white
blue
sky
ocean
navy
Black
Yellow.
My first idea, would be to put all of this into a treeview. Thing is, that
I wanted to have the chance of "checking" the different entries. That is, a
person should be able to put a check mark, at the Green, under both Shirt and
Pant. Maybe even check both Green and and white, for the shirt, and green for
the pant.
I have never constructed a treeview, and I don't even know, if it is
possible in a rather simple way - to accomplish what I here am attempting to
do. Hence, my first question would be, is a treeview the right way to go?
Secondly, is it even possible to do what I want? And thirdly, is there any
tutorial, or scripting samples, that would address this kind of task.
Preferably, something that does not contain thousand of lines, in a high-tech
and fancy script.
Ok, I do understand, I would have to deal with dialogs, and treeviews or
whatever, from an XML. Fine enough, but what would be suggested from some of
you more experienced developers out there?
Thanks alot for any feedback,
