Sublayer legend Symbology question

Question

Original User: angelg

I have SL app with legends. When the app first load the legend with templates loads showing the three main layers (Legend1.png). When I click to expand one of these layers to show the sublayers, the sublayers and their symbology gets displayed (Legend2.png).  Is their a way to prevent the symbology displaying (Legend3.png) until the user actually expand the sublayer they want to see.

If you have many sublayers and many symbology within these sublayers it can frustrate the user since he/she need to close all of the sublayers, whose symbology they do not want to see.

Basically I used  ESRI Toolkit Control sample "Legend with Templates"

Copy and paste the code, update mapservice with your mapservice and update the LayerID with your layer ID name. Add the code Dominique suggested above if you want and run the app.

Attached is a shot of how my mxd/msd if configured.

How did you get the toggle switches for the layers inside the main one? I downloaded a configurable app and just has a selection box where I can only select one class at a time.
