Is there a way to multi-select items in a list

[hmischel@diligentsystems.com]

Hi,

I have been asked by my users to allow multi-select items in a custom vfp section list box.

Is there a way to that currently?

If not, would it be possible to expose shift+mousedown, shift+mouseup, ctrl+mousedown and ctrl+mouseup in the hotkeys or as a list delegate? That way I can implement the logic how I would like.

Thanks

Herb

Hi Herb,

a) the Lianja grid section has the capability of multi-selecting rows
b) the grid doesn't have to have column/line separators
c) a section can be made into a visual component

Just a thought.

Hi Herb,

I have exposed this functionality in the next 5.4.1 build. I have added a new property to the "listbox" object.

olistbox.selectionmode = value

where value is:

0 NoSelection
1 SingleSelection
2 MultiSelection
3 ExtendedSelection
4 ContiguousSelection

Note that when the selection mode is 2 or 3 then the "value" property returns a comma separated list of selected items.

Hi Hank,

I live in the custom section world
For custom section grids, I can code for multi-select by adding a logical fields that comes up as a checkbox and using a hot-key to select all the rows I want. Sometimes a list is simpler, and what Barry has added will do the trick.

Thanks
