Has anyone got any experience of creating a crumb trail (I think that's what they are called), where as a user navigates through a hierarchical menu an on-screen control updates showing their position in the menu tree?

What I'm really looking for is a fast way for users to jump back up a sequence of dialogues without having to click Cancel, Cancel, Cancel etc. to return to a higher level.

I assume that the application would need a window management object to implement this sort of navigation control and bypass.

TIA,
Simon
