multipleHilites
Type
property
Summary
Specifies whether more than one line can be selected in a list field.
Syntax
set the multipleHilites of <field> to {true | false}
Description
Use the multipleHilites property to control the behavior of list fields.
If the multipleHilites of a field is set to true, the user can select more than one line by dragging within the field, or Shift-clicking to select all the lines between the selected line and the clicked line. If the multipleHilites is false, clicking a line deselects any other lines in the field.
If the field's listBehavior property is false, the multipleHilites property has no effect.
Setting the toggleHilites to true automatically sets the field's multipleHilites property to true. (However, setting the toggleHilites to false does not set the property back to false.) To set the toggleHilites to true and the multipleHilites to false, be sure to set the toggleHilites first, then set the multipleHilites to false.
Examples
set the multipleHilites of field "myField" to true
Value
