I don't think that that multiselection combobox exists because when
collapsed the combo would not show the selected options and it would be a
bad user interface idea. Since your combobox would hide the selected items
anyway, you can provide a button and show a modal form with a full listbox
to select the items. Also, you can consider using tabs to gain space on your
form, or to make it scrollable (and sizable). Just a few ideas...

How to multiselect a combo box

by: Danny | last post by:

I like the combo box because you can scroll through items nicely, but the list box just has the navigation where you can go up and down. I am trying to allow the user to multiselect items. With the list box, he does not like it because if he clicks on the nav bar, it loses the selection!! even if he holds down the shift. Is there a way to do this with a combo box? I just see the multi select for the list box. Thanks in advance

How to get the last selected item in multiselect ListBox?

by: Peder Y | last post by:

Anyone knows if there is some kind of property or function that will return the last selected/deselected item/index in a multiselect ListBox? SelectedIndex will point to first index in the SelectedIndices collection, so this is a dead end. My solution so far is to override the mouse click and key pressed events. However, since arrow up/down seems to keep a record of the item that currently has focus somehow, I would believe this...
