You have to probably try using ListView instead of ListBox.
Either you can PInvoke to change the control underlying behaviour to
support multi select or chose Rick's suggestion by adding a check box
column.
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
private const int GWL_STYLE = -16;
private const int LVS_SINGLESEL = 0x0004;
[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetCapture();
[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex);
[DllImport("coredll")]
private static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int
dwNewLong);
//To multiselect
this.listView1.Capture = true;
IntPtr hWnd = GetCapture();
this.listView1.Capture = false;
int style = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);
SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, (style & ~LVS_SINGLESEL));
if you are using CF2.0, you don't need to use GetCapture and set the
Capture to True/False either, instead control exposes Handle property.
IntPtr hWnd = listview1.Handle;
Loop through the selected indices on the listview to get the items.
ListView.SelectedIndexCollection col =
this.ListView1.SelectedIndices()
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Arun
