I would like the QuickLaunch to be collapsible/expandable.  Unfortunately, this cannot be done (tried to modify to treeview per ms website, but no luck).  

When a person selects, SITE SETTINGS-> MODIFY SITE SETTINGS->NAVIGATION, he/she can customize the QuickLaunch and move links up/down, add, delete, hide, etc..

Where is this 'setting' stored?  In the SQL database?

I would like to create a web part that grabs this info and creates a quicklaunch that is expandable / collapsible

Example
[+] Documents
   - Shared Docs
   - Doc lib 2
[-] Lists
[-] Discussions
[+] Sites
  - Site 1
  - Area 51
  - Site 3
[-] People and Groups

Thanks,

I figured it out (thanks to a friend of a friend, Ben) and in case some of you would benefit, here it its...

SPSite site = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context);

SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();

SPNavigationNodeCollection nodes = web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

foreach (SPNavigationNode node in nodes)

{

// Get Children if any

SPNavigationNodeCollection Children = node.Children;

if (Children.Count != 0)

{

if (node.IsVisible == true) // only display if visible & isExternal is set to true

{

writer.Write("<a href='" + node.url + "'>" + node.title + "<a/><br />");

foreach (SPNavigationNode child in Children)

{

if (child.IsVisible == true) // only display if set to true

{

writer.Write("<a href=\"" + child.Url + "\">" + child.Title + "</a><br />");

}

}

}

}

}
