Multi-Selection Mode

The ASPxListBox editor from the ASPxEditors Suite enables users to select multiple items simultaneously.

To enable multi-selection mode, set the editor’s ASPxListBox.SelectionMode property to ListEditSelectionMode.Multiple or ListEditSelectionMode.CheckColumn.

ASPxListBox-Multiple Selection

Note

In multiple selection mode, all list items are always sent to the client. You cannot load items on demand with callbacks, so the editor’s ListBoxProperties.EnableCallbackMode and ListBoxProperties.CallbackPageSize properties are not in effect.

Use the ListEditItem.Selected property to select an individual item on the server side. The ASPxListBox.SelectAll and ASPxListBox.UnselectAll methods select or deselect all items on the server.

The following client-side API is useful in changing the selected state of editor items.

Selection Unselection
ASPxClientListBox.SelectValues ASPxClientListBox.UnselectValues
ASPxClientListBox.SelectItems ASPxClientListBox.UnselectItems
ASPxClientListBox.SelectIndices ASPxClientListBox.UnselectIndices
ASPxClientListBox.SelectAll ASPxClientListBox.UnselectAll

Use the following members to obtain information about the selected items programmatically.

On the server side On the client side
ASPxListBox.SelectedItems ASPxClientListBox.GetSelectedItems
ASPxListBox.SelectedIndices ASPxClientListBox.GetSelectedIndices
ASPxClientListBox.GetSelectedValues

The client ASPxClientListBox.SelectedIndexChanged and server ASPxListEdit.SelectedIndexChanged events allow you to execute tasks in response to the selection of different items from the editor’s list by users.
