Ultimately in my quest to track down the correct answer I will at my earliest opportunity test this out for my own peace of mind. Thank you for believing in my failing ability to remember, guess it hasn't degraded too far yet.

I think those are multiselect boxes that people are referring to which is technically different from a combobox. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2013 9:17 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes My memory needed a refresher course, thank you.

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.

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. -----Original Message----- >From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] >On Behalf Of Dialup @ 56k Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2013 4:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo boxes IMO, that is not the design purpose of a combo box. Like a radio button, choose ONE only.
