Hi everyone,
I am making a complicated form with Adobe Livecycle ES2 and I have an issue regarding the User Friendly Interface.
There is information I need to ask about the work location and I have a few options with regions and cities in the regions
The user can choose any regions and/or metropolitan areas.
The issue is the request of my client, it is wanted too specify which region the metropolitan area is in and the boundaries are specified in a information button "?"
E.g.
National Zone
Regions and Metropolitan Areas ◄ not an option
Antlantic Region
Halifax
Moncton
National Capital ◄ not an option, but provides information
National Capital Region
Quebec Region
Montreal
Quebec City
Ontario Region
Toronto
Pacific Region
Vancouver
Victoria
Western Region
Calgary
Edmonton
Saskatoon
Winnipeg
Thinking of using a dropdownlist is not the best option because of the information provided...
right now I am using checkboxes with the right hierarchy above but it is not user friendly
I am hiding the checkboxes to show the chosen options with a join(", ") into a label
On a click of a button the checkboxes becomes visible and another button appears "Done Selection"
Each options above needs to provide information regarding the boundaries of the regions / metropolitan areas
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to present this information and be easy to use and to see

You might consider a popup menu: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.162.html
Another alternative is a custom dialog that uses the hierarchical list item: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.142.html
The sample code shows how you can do this.
I've thought of using the custom dialog which was a good idea but... the checkboxes are limited to maximum 9 per windows...
and if using a hierarchical list item, I couldnt see a good way to be able to send an information message on the region / metropolitan area on user action, not on selection and be able to add those into a lists which the user can easily see the choices, and also be able to delete the choices...
I am pretty familiar with custom dialogs, I've made a complicated multiple dynamic custom dialog(s) so I know how this could be done, it's just the information which the user can see at all time that irritates me a little

It's worth a try to use popup menu in a listbox and have one option of Information and the other for adding to the list.
Thanks for the suggestions.
