Delphi 7 Hi Dale, When you say "select", do you mean "tick", or do you mean "highlight"? I ask because I get the sense this may be the key to the problem. To clarify: The term "select" is generally meant to refer to "highlighting", and "multi-select" is like when you ctrl-click entries to select multiple ones at the same time (for example like in Windows explorer.) It does not refer to actually ticking the entries. Similarly, "Extended select" refers to seleting ranges of items (e.g. Shift-click etc.) Apologies if you already know this. Anyway, for the check listbox therefore setting multi select to false does not have any bearing on the number of ticks you can tick. (Setting multi select to false will disable ctrl-clicking items, setting it to true, will allow ctrl-clicking like in explorer.) If you only want one item to be "ticked" you should rather use a radio button based control -- tick box controls are meant to be used when multiple ticks are possible, whereas radio button controls are expressly meant for the case where you must select one option from a number of options.
