ok guys - i'm new at how this all fits together - i know how to code the pieces but i just don't know how to make it fit together!

here's what i'd LIKE to have:

a tree in the left pane (data is from sql table) - and depending on the items selected (checked off) from the tree, i'd like a grid filled in the middle pane -

what i don't know - is this 1 module - how place them in separate panes - do i put all in 1 module and then on that .ascx page, "create" the look of a left and middle pane? or is there an easy way in dnn to use a tree module in the left and then another module in the middle - and can "access" or get from the left pane the selections of the user?

thanks for any help as i'm still not sure of the inter-relationships of the modules - do you code/organize each module as it's own little world?

both ways meaning do it in 1 module or do it in 2 separate modules and "talk" to each other? which way do you recommend /what have you done/experienced in the past? ~ thanks

what exactly is IMC?

sorry, both ways are referencing to 2 modules (IMC means InterModule Communication, you can read about in the Module Developers Guide available from Resouces >> Documentation page).

Of course, creating a single module would be easier but less flexible.
