Multi select in a list control

Hi All,

I am pretty new to Pocket PC programming. I am trying to use a List control in which I have a number of entries. Right now I am able to select a single entry in the list control. How can I select multiple entries in a list control using the stylus? I have tried this on a LISTBOX. This works but I dont know how to do this in a LISTCONTROL.

Can someone throw some light on the same.

Thanks in advance,
Reshma

You may don't pass LVS_SINGLESEL @ CreateWindow (...) or you simply change the property at the dialog editor ...

Hi,

I tried to change the dialog settings. Basically I unchecked the SingleSelect option in the ListControl and also I tried to use ModifyStyle() API in which I removed LVS_SINGLESEL style. But this doesn't seem to work. I am still not able to select multiple entries at the same time. Also I want the selected entries to be highlited.

Could you please tell me what is missing here.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I am trying to modify the example listed under
http://www.codeproject.com/ce/ccelistctrlex.asp#xx719299xx

This example allows single selection in the LISTCONTROL. How can I change this example so that I can select multiple entries
in the listcontrol.

Can you please help me on this. I tried to change the dialog settings as said earlier. But this doesn't seem to work. Is there any code change that I need to make.

Thanks in advance,
Reshma

VERIFY(ModifyStyle(LVS_TYPEMASK|
LVS_REPORT
LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED |
LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS |
LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER));

this seems correct to me
