ListView Multiselect without CTRL

[GatorBait]

Hi all,

I am converting an application from Access to VB.NET and I have a quick
question about listviews. In Access I am able to do multi selection by
just clicking on items in a listview, i.e. I do not need to hold down
the Control key. I can set the Multiselect property to 'Simple' in
Access. Is there a VB.NET equivalent to that? Is there a way I can
achieve this?

Thanks

Hi Gator,
I am pretty sure that you can.

Have a look at:

Gator,

Do you mean the multiselect property of the listview?

I hope this helps,

Re: ListView Multiselect without CTRL

Thank you both for your responses, but unfortunately that did not
really help me get closer to a solution. I don't think the selection
property I am looking for exists so I am going to have to try to come
up with some code that will do multiple selections in a listview by
just clicking on an item (without holding down CTRL)....any ideas?

Gator,

There is a lot of not standard behaviour that is in old office programs.

Standard selecting of multiple items you do with ctrl (or shift when they
are behind each other). Doing not standard behaviour (even if Microsoft made
that in past) is something I (and I am not the only one) advice you to
avoid.

Just my thought,
