itemlistbox @multiple

[RAK]

Can I get an itemlistbox in a dialog (has a callback) to act like the askitemlist function when set to @multiple? I would like to allow multiple item selection without holding the control key in an itemlistbox.  Thanks

Sorry control key is necessary when selecting multiple items in a Dialogs ItemListBox. How about using a button to launch the AskItemList box from your dialog?

That's what I suspected after looking for awhile. A popup list is not a useable solution as there are 4 radio buttons that control list content. Thanks for your reply Deana.

You could use a single column REPORTVIEW control with check boxes.

You took the thought right out of My head.. Was contemplating just that! I did try the report view functions in the dialog at first just to check it out and switched back to the itemlist. At that time - I did not see any benefits for this dialog and wanted the extra space the checkboxes used. Now I guess there is at least one benefit for me here. Thanks!

I am going to try using both itemlistbox and reportview in the same dialog. depending on what radio button is selected.. Itembox will hide and reportview show for lists that will allow multiple selection..  Talking about it here created a solution! - as usual.

thanks!

Yes, a ReportView seems to allow similar item selection to the AskItemList.
