I would subclass List and restore anchorIndex and caretIndex when selectedItems is set.

I am facing an issue with a list that allows multi select. I am using Flex 2.0. I see that this is fixed in Flex 3.0, but I am not sure how to go about fixing this problem in 2.0 I run the source code below. 1. On load of the application, I set the first item in the list as selected. (selectedIndex = 0). At this point, I am able to use "Shift" key to multi select. 2. I have a button, on click of this button, I change my selected items so as to select the first 2 items (selectedIndices = 0 & 1). When this happens, if I try to do a shift+select, it does not work (until I make another selection either with a click or Ctrl+Click). The anchor bookmark, anchor index, caret bookmark and caret index are not getting set when I set selectedItems or selectedIndices. I see this fixed as part of setSelectionIndicesLoop and setSelectionDataLoop in the Flex 3 ListBase.as. Even if I attempt to subclass ListBase, I hit private members that I would not be able to access. Is there any other workaround for me to fix this? <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; creationComplete="selectDefault(event);" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function selectDefault(e:Event) : void { lst.selectedIndex = 0; } private function selectFirstTwo(e:Event) : void { var arr:Array = [0,1]; lst.selectedIndices = arr; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:List id="lst" allowMultipleSelection="true" width="100"> <mx:dataProvider> <mx:String>AK</mx:String> <mx:String>AL</mx:String> <mx:String>AR</mx:String> <mx:String>AB</mx:String> <mx:String>AC</mx:String> <mx:String>AD</mx:String> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:List> <mx:Button label="Select First 2 Elements!" click="selectFirstTwo(event)"/> </mx:Application> Thanks Ram -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Shift%2BSelect---Issue-with-ListBase-tp21151088p21151088.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
