Phreak Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I'd like to allow a user to select their country and state (if from US) from a drop down list. Does anyone know where I can get a list of all the countries so I don't have to manually type in all 200 and some? I've searched all over and can't seem to find a list of countries... any help? Quote If it works... don't worry, I'll fix it.

*Experts* Merrion Posted April 9, 2003 *Experts* Posted April 9, 2003 You know what would be a cool UI element - when you drop down the list it shows a world map instead of a list of countries and as you move the mouse over the relevant country the text changes to that country name...similarily US states or a map of Europe or whatever.

*Experts* Volte Posted April 9, 2003 *Experts* Posted April 9, 2003 Perhaps you would be able to adapt your Hotspot control or whatever it was that you made for VB6 to .NET and use it for that? Quote
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted April 9, 2003 *Gurus* Posted April 9, 2003 I'd feel bad for the poor chap who has to find the one pixel that represents Vatican City! Quote Posting Guidelines
*Experts* Nerseus Posted April 9, 2003 *Experts* Posted April 9, 2003 Maybe the right mouse button could zoom in to show real 3d maps (from Earthviewer or terraserver, for example). The control would cost you about $1000 per user for licensing, but would look *great* - and no trouble finding Vatican City. Heck, find a top-down satellite view of the pope himself! (Just click on his big white hat to select that country) :) -Nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
