Further to that, I think it is because you name a Key column in the ListView and an array is maintained that works in a manner I described in my first email, whereas a ListBox is placing the SELECTION directly in the variable from the onclick event which occurs both on SELECT and DE-SELECT.
So it's Apples and Oranges, but notable. I only checked the ListBox initially because it was the Subject. ListView is behaving as you want, so that is what I would use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MikeB" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 11:27 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Multi-select List Box > Ok, I missed that Larry said ListView. > > The topic started out ListBox. > > The selection behavior between the two are not the same. > > The Listbox behaves as I described previously, but the ListView "unravels" > the > Items so that the last item in the list is the last item remaining in the > SELECTED state whereas if you de-select the item in the ListBox, the > deselection places it at the end of the list ..
