MULTI COLUMN LISTBOX

[TANDERJASKA]

iIs there a way to select, with mouse pointer, multiple cells within a multicolumn listbox? I do not want to select a row or column, just multiple cells. Thank you for your time.

Thanx for the info, unfortunately their example is actually is a table and it only selects one cell at a time. I am looking to select multiple cells  (not columns or rows, while holding the control key down and clicking with the mouse) within a multicolumn listbox. Thanx again

The example you want to look at is the one in reply #2, which indicates to use the ActiveCell property and then to set the background color. That is what you essentially have to do. You have to simulate the selection of cells. The cells themselves are not being "selected". When you make a "selection" you're always selecting a row. Basically, you just need to respond to the "Mouse Up" event for the listbox, find out which cell was being clicked, and then set the background color for it to indicate "selection".

The attached example is something to get you started.

I recently posted a similar example in a recent thread here.
