Multi selection list box in WinForms

Question

I am looking for way to implement multi selection enabled list box in windows forms C#. Any suggestions? Thanks.

List boxes do this already. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1420514/listbox-selected-items-in-winform — wprl, Jan 13 '10 at 20:24

Just add a ListBox control and set the Property: SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended

Then you can get the selected items in: ListBox1.SelectedItems

Is there a way to make this work without pressing `Ctrl`? I mean to select a row by just clicking on the item – Ozkan Jul 07 '15 at 13:38

Yes. Override ListBox's OnClick event. – Sebastian Xawery Wiśniowiecki Dec 02 '15 at 08:24

Or, the even easier way: set SelectionMode to MultiSimple. – BetaKeja Aug 24 '18 at 15:03
