I use a list box to display a list of prints that a user can manipulate (print,email, copy delete etc.) and wish to allow the user to select multiple instances for deletion. Does anyone have any idea how this might be achieved?

    I believe that you will need to use a grid control versus a list box. When user selects item x you need an event procedure to then hold that item, know that the control key is used and again get the next selected item. There may be ActiveX controls that make this feature easier.

    I use a grid for this type of action - lists are not any good for it. I also use a pseudo checkbox in one of the grid columns for showing which items are selected.

    Great news guys thanks. How do I detect that the user has control clicked? I assume that I should use msg-heading-clicked, but what tells me this happened with the control key held down?

    That is not what we do - and why we include the pick box in the line of the grid. User just clicks on the tick box in the grid column to slect/deslect the item(s). Hidden behind the bitmap of the tickbox is a field with value 0 = not selected/ticked, 1 = selected/ticked. When any action is taken that looks at a group of items in the grid, those with a value 1 in that column are actioned.

    Thank you so much Micr35180. This is just what I needed, and your screen print gave me some further ideas on how to make it all look pretty. I owe you one!
