Creating a hierarchical options in the SelectManyChoice component

Question

An article here by Frank explains how to create a heirarchical options in SelectOneChoice component. In my case I wanted to implement the same using the SelectManyChoice component. The challenge here is that once I select a parent choice, all its child choices should get selected (something like selecting "All" automatically selects the other options in the component). I tried to capture the ValueChange event, but that event is fired once we close the SelectManyChoice component.
Suppose I have:
[]Active
[] Running
[] Suspended
[] Scheduled
selecting on []Active should immediately select all the other 3. Also selecting []Active doesn't fire any event. The only event fired is when I complete the selection of the values.
Is it possible to achieve what I am trying above using selectManyChoice? Or is there an alternate component?
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6.2

Hi,
the select components don't allow hierarchical structures. If you look at the sample I wrote, I use a trick in that I style a select item which is defined as disabled to indicate a group. In fact this is not making the select list structured. In your case I would try and use a treeTable component
