GuiCtrlCreateList multiple selection with Ctrl key?

[Xink]

Hello,

Is it possible to enable the control key to select multiple entries in de GUICtrlCreateList?

I have noticed the control key is working with GUICtrlCreateListView.

Any help are appreciated

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry i am not clear at the first time.

I want to select multiple items with the Ctrl key and not with the mouse.

The mouse can select only one item.

Is this possible?

The only way to select items is with the mouse. You hold control and click more than one item. As long as the $LBS_MULTIPLESEL is used, you can click more than one, as long as you hold control.

If you not hold down the Ctrl key, you still can select multiple items with the mouse.

I only want to selected multiple items with the Ctrl key, if Ctrl key is not hold down, only 1 item can selected.

See GUICtrlCreateListView, this is exactly what i want, but now in GUICtrlCreateList.

Use $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL (0x800)

Use $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL (0x800)

How do i use $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL? i cannot found this in the help file.

When i try this, it is not recognized. Variable used without being declared.

GUICtrlCreateList("", 424, 359, 339, 201, BitOR($LBS_SORT,$LBS_STANDARD,$LBS_EXTENDEDSEL,$WS_VSCROLL,$WS_BORDER))

So declare it.

Global Const $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL = 0x800
...
...
GUICtrlCreateList("", 424, 359, 339, 201, BitOR($LBS_SORT,$LBS_STANDARD,$LBS_EXTENDEDSEL,$WS_VSCROLL,$WS_BORDER))

Or don't declare, just plug it's value into GUICtrlCreateList() directly, if you don't care about readability of your code...

GUICtrlCreateList("", 424, 359, 339, 201, BitOR($LBS_SORT,$LBS_STANDARD,0x800,$WS_VSCROLL,$WS_BORDER))
