Hi,

I have a multiselect listbox. Users can now hold down
the Ctrl key to select more than one value. I would
liike for them to be able to hold the shift ket and move
to a value latrer down in the listbox to select all
values from the first to certain point. Does anyone
know how users can use the SHIFT key to select a range of
values in a multiselect listbox?

Thanks in advance,
geebee
 
That can be done if you set the MultiSelect property of your ListBox to
"Extended".

Click to expand...

If they can already use Control to select multiple items then the Shift key
should already do what you want.

A ListBox has two options for selecting multiple items, Simple and
Extended. Simple doesn't support Control or Shift. You simply click on
each row one at a time to select them and click on them again to de-select
them. Extended supports the use of BOTH Control and Shift in the manner
you describe. There is no setting where Control works and Shift does not.
