Multiple selection listbox

[einherj]

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

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

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?

LCD OUT

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.

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.

ohhh now i understod da question  .......... just ignore me... im off 2 fell st00pid

LCD OUT

No worries LCD, i just got a little frustrated. 

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

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.
