If you want the easiest path to replace the DisplayList plugin I would highly recommend Tony’s DisplayList4D.
ALL of the Displaylist plugin commands are replicated in the component. For example SetListHeaders becomes DL_SetlistHeaders, SetListButtons becomes DL_SetListButtons, etc. So it is really easy to do a global find and replace. I think the majority of the component commands and functions work exactly as they did in the plugin so require nothing more to be done. So your multi-selection requirement works exactly as it does in the plugin.. There are, however, several that work a bit differently. For example the DisplayList now DL_Displaylist function has an extra parameter to start and the arrays are passed as pointers instead of array names, without a 15 army limit. There are enhancements as well, more than 1 hidden array for example. I use DisplayList in all of my databases, actually cannot live without it. When in 2014 I could no longer use the DisplayList plugin, I had already let go of ArealistPro in favor of native 4D list boxes. So Tony;s component was a godsend. It was really quite easy to implement, extremely well written and documented. Certainly quicker and easier than any other approach.
