ListView hold down Ctrl or Shift to select multiple items?

[CGRemakes]

Is there an option or easy way to make it so people can hold down ctrl or shift to be able to select multiple items in a listview. I didn't see any flag or option, but I may have just overlooked it. I'm sure it's possible to program it (and I'm pretty sure I even know how), but I'm hoping the work has already been done for me. Thanks!

The listview default style is bitor($LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS, $LVS_SINGLESEL), where $LVS_SINGLESEL forces the selection of a single row only. Just set the style to $LVS_REPORT.

Excellent! I figured there must be something like that already written. No need to reinvent the wheel. Works like a charm.

You will also need another function, if you plan on doing anything with the list, as if you try to read the GuiCtrl it will only populate one of the listed items.

#Include <GuiListBox.au3>
_GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItems($hWnd)

Thanks for the extra note, because I am having trouble accessing the selected information. What I'm trying to do is allow them to select from the list, and click on a button to export that information to a CSV file. I've looked at the extra information you pointed out, but I'm not sure how to use that in conjunction with a listview. I tried _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItems and _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText, and I don't get information with it (maybe because I'm using a ListView, not a ListBox?). I'm trying to get the value of the entire row for each selected item. I also tried using _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices, and it does return the indicies of the selected items, but I'm not sure what to do with that information once I have it. I don't see a function that lets me select an entire row's information based on index. _GUICtrlListView_GetItem seems to just return the first column's value if I display the [3] element in the array of the returned information. Is there an easier way?

EDIT: Think I got it figured out using _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices and _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString.

Look at

LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 355, 226, 192, 114)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1|col2|col3", 48, 16, 250, 150, BitOR($LVS_REPORT,$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS), BitOR($WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT))
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 2, 50)
$ListView1_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("a1|b1|c1", $ListView1)
$ListView1_1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("a2|b2|c2", $ListView1)
$ListView1_2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("a3|b3|c3", $ListView1)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 136, 184, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Selected Indices: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($ListView1))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The above code works for getting the index, but not the string - use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString, and then split the string into an array or what have you.
