Multiple Selection

Set the SelectionMode property to ListBoxSelectionMode.Multiple to enable multiple selection in the List Box.

To select a range of rows, a user can click the first row in the range, hold down the Shift key, and click the last row in the range. To add a row to or remove a row from a selection, a user should hold down the Ctrl key and click that row. On touch devices, use long press gestures to select multiple rows.

If the ShowCheckboxes property is set to true, users can click items or corresponding checkboxes to select items.

To access/specify selected items, use the Values property.
