Re: how to simulate a ctrl+clic
I am going to use a grid instead of the listbox As far as I am concerned, this is the best approach. You can put the grid on a form, to be called when you need to make a selection. Appropriate code in the click event of the checkboxes on the grid would enable the user to select or deselect. You can add buttons on the form to select all, deselect all, revert selections (select a couple of records, then change your mind and select the rest of the records but the couple selected before, you name it..). The form would only appear when you need it and disappear after you made all the selections. Comboboxes are suitable for the selection of a few records, but are cumbersome to use, IMHO. Grids, instead, are superb!!

Re: how to simulate a ctrl+clic
Check out the Picker class which does exactly that - it's a bit complicated but in the past I've used a stripped down version of the code to build e.g. a query generator.

Re: how to simulate a ctrl+clic
You have four parameters in the MouseDown Event, the nShift allow u to check for the CTRL key. I prefer the KeyPress event. E.

Well, off the top of my head (mostly because I can't test it here at the
moment):
Will nodefault prevent the issue? Either in keypress, click, or mousedown?
If so, you can use the nShift (the second one, if I remember right)
parameter of mousedown to detect whether the Control key is pressed. I'm
not sure if there's a way to simulate Control-Click, but you might be able
to use Keyboard {CTRL+SPACEBAR} to effectively do the same thing.
Alternatively, code to detect a keypress combination (Control-A, for
example), that just resets all of the pupils to selected again. If you
only need to deselect a couple of students and you screw up, you just hit
Control-A and be more careful next time.

I didn't find a mean to 'simulate' the CTRL key in the click event or the mousedown event ! Have you an idea ? Rather than change the way standard interface items work (admittedly, in this case, more difficult than they should), how about some other work arounds: 1) Add a 'Select All' button near the list box so you can reset them all to be selected and then de-select again. 2) Change the listbox to a grid with a first column of a checkbox so you can select/de-select with just a click, rather than control-click, and don't have to mess with the range features. 3) Enable the system edit menu (untested) or capture the Ctrl-A shortcut when focus is on the listbox to enable the 'Select All' feature. -- Ted Roche Associates, LLChttp://www.tedroche.com/ ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/533c1451.3000...@gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Instead of firing out the whole concept of Windows and its basic functions accepted by our world, would it not make more sense to simply add a button for reversing the active selection ? You can't predict in advance whatever the crap your users will find ; it will always be bad for you, you know ? Have you to subscribe to all foolish demands, even the most improbable?
