Title: Multiple selection listbox
Post by: einherj on 25 Aug 2007, 15:52:57

I was unable to find a thread related to this with the search function.

I will now quote the "lbSetSelected" function's description:

Quote

Set the selection state of the given row of the given listbox.
Listbox must support multiple selection.

I presume the listbox can be made to support multiple selection via some description.ext classification line. What could that line be?

I know what a listbox is and I know how to use them. Did you even read my post?

Actually the vektorboson's tutorial explains nothing related to the issue in hand.

Dialogs are listed as being under the 'advanced' category so I moved this here.

Carry on.  :cool2:

There seems to be two listbox control types: 5 (normal one) and 42 (didnt test that one). And three styles: 0 (single selection), 0x10 (textures) and 0x20 (multiple selection). You may play with these.

No worries LCD, i just got a little frustrated.  :good:

It seems that the style 0x20 makes the listbox multiselectable so I defined a new style in my description.ext for easier remembering:

Code: [Select]

#define ST_MULTIPLESELECTION 0x20

I can now choose multiple items in the listbox by holding CTRL or SHIFT and selecting them

Thank you Mandoble for enlightening me in this matter :clap:

I was just about to ask this question, so thanks for that! I'd tried 0x10 already, but it just changed the look of the listbox, without allowing multiple-selection.
