Hi,
I have a odd but a known question about listbox. I know listbox
control can provide multi-select, multi-extendend selections. But i
wonder if this selection type belongs to them or it has another
tecnique.

As you may know, in softwares like Windows Media Player or Winamp
playlist has a listbox and it can be selected in 2 types. First type
refers to player's own selection and second selection type can be done
by user to look for items properties or like that. But they're
independent, i mean, one selection can jump to next item being
independent from another selection.

A good example demonstrates this:

In screenshot you'll see that, black selection is player's own
selection has no dependency on second selection(blue).

Shortly, the selection mechanism i want to have is that 2 different-
coloured listboxselections can do what they do independently like in
mediaplayers.

Is there a way to do the same in .NET's listbox or other 3rd party
control?

Thanks,

Onur

If I get your point correctelly (can't see the image, company proxy),
you could do that by simply styling (coloring) a item with a different
color (like when a song that's beeing played) and let the selection
highlight itself to the user selection.
Don't know exactly how to do this, but I found some examples:

Hi,
Thanks for reply, but i'm afraid i'm not looking for colored-
appearance. I just wondered if there's a listbox / listview type like
Windows Media Player's or Winamp's that allows only 2 selection, 1
selection is controlled by application, second one is reserved to user
for free selection.

Looking at screenshot may give more idea about it:

Is there a known technique or 3rd party listbox/view control for that
issue?
(Two independent listbox selections, selecting one doesn't effect
other one)
Please see screenshot:

Sorry, Onur,

but do you examined the examples that i mentioned? (yes, i know u do)
I think you can do the task with them.
The "Playing music now" (application controled) selection is not other
thing than an colored item, while the user selection is the list
selector itself.
So, in execution time set a color to an item (that will be the app
selection) and store its index/name/item and let the selector of the
listbox for the user, handling the events that you need.

Thiago
