Technically, they are list boxes, to give them their correct
description. (It may also apply to combo boxes in internet Explorer or
your accessible Web browser where multiple selections need to be made.)

I think yur memory is fine, Dave. I think those are multiselect boxes
that
people are referring to which is technically different from a combobox.

My memory needed a refresher course, thank you.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved
from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hi All,
I came across the following notes on selecting more than 1 item in a
combobox:
In Windows Explorer, for example, you can hold down the control key
while you arrow through the list. When you get to an item you want to
select, you press the space bar. You're holding down the control key the
whole time. Release the control key when you want to stop selecting
items.
If you're in a dialog box with an extended list item, you can use
shift+f8 to enter extended selection mode, arrow through the list, press
control+space or shift+space to select an item and shift+f8 to leave
extended list mode.
HTH
Take care.
Mike

I recall there being a way to do this. Having to do with the control
button
and spacebar. I used to be in a fantasy football league and making and
receiving trades scenarios with multiple players was a big part of the
league. It's been years since I've played though and haven't had the
need to
exicute this particular action so I can't remember exactly the steps
needed.
I'm sure though that there's a way. Maybe another Jaws user with more
experience or Eric from FS if he sees this thread can chime in since
he's
always got the answer to pretty much every jaws probllem that comes up
on
the list. You could also try the reference materials on the FS website.
There's a page on there with all the JFW keystrokes that you could look
at.

IMO, that is not the design purpose of a combo box.
Like a radio button, choose ONE only.
