Expandable Side Menu like in Excel.

Hello all,

I have a treeview on my menu on the left side of the page. Right now the width is fixed. If a name of a hyperlink is too long, the user has to use the horizontal scroll to be able to read the whole name. I remember that in the MSDN Download page, the left side menu is expandable via a drag (horizontal not vertical). Or you can use Excel as an example; you can expand the the header column horizontally as wide as you want.

Is there a sample code somewhere so I can have this behavior on my page?

The closes one i can think of is the AjaxControlToolkit:CollapsiblePanel ... combine with the Slider ... and then use javascript to update the width of the Panel while the slider is being drag ... hihihihi oh man, ... there gotta be a simplier way ... any help here? Oh, one more thing, my left side menu is collapsible via JavaScript ... not the AJax stuff. that's why CollapsiblePanel comes in mind.

By the way, can the CollapsiblePanel collapse horizontally? I don't see any option for that. ... Any input would be sweet ... thanks all.

Hi,WishStar99

I'm also seeking for what you want,I did what you do last year in one of my projects.

Have you found anything that works great?

Thanks

I have not implement it yet. However, I think whatever is in my mind should be able to work. =)

If I ever accomplish it, i'll post the URL here so all can see.
