Unselect one listbox when second is selected

rbr
I have two listboxes on an asp.net web control (ascx). I want them to
act non-mutually-exclusive. In other words, if an item in one listbox
is selected, I want the other to be clear.

The problem I am solving is that I have a listbox with active job
postings and a second with inactive job postings for my employer. I
want to be able to just use one button to pull the selected job
posting. Currently, this is impossible since a posting from each
listbox may be selected.

I have tried numerous javascript options without luck. However, I am
admittedly a novice at javascript. In addition, extending the listbox
control is not an option in my environment.

Thank you in advance!

since its an aspx page and (probably) a server control, you may want to use
Visual Web Developer Express and take a look at the SelectedIndexCh anged
event handler for both list boxes. (probably not Javascript)

I've just spend a lot of time solving the following problem: I used dotNet 2.0 / Visualstudio 2005 / C# / aspx, enable viewstate is set on all controls. I have 2 listboxes; the left contains items that can be (dynamically) added to the right box. Adding the first item went fine, it shows up in the right box. Adding the second item resulted in losing _every_ control following the right box. 'View source' reveiled that the rendering of the...

Hello all: Clearly, I'm not getting it! Here is the scenario: On a web page, I have two list boxen and a text box. The first listbox is populated at page load time (if it is not a postback).

I have a ListBox on a form than has some items. The select mode is one item only. I select one, it is selected and hightlighted. I then click somewhere in the listbox not on any item, in the clear area of the listbox. I would like to unselect the selected item but I cannot determine which event to use to trap this event and unselect the current seleted item. Any help?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
