GetMultiSelText Function (ListBox ListView)

Class

ListBox and ListView.

Action

Returns the text of each selected item in the multi-selection or extend-selection list, list box, or listview.

Availability

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Syntax

lsText = list.GetMultiSelText( )
Variable Description
lsText The text of each selected item. LIST OF STRING.

Notes

  • If the selected item is graphical or contains no text, GetMultiSelText returns a pound sign (#) followed by the index number of the item. If no items are selected, the function returns an empty list. You can set the OPT_GET_MULTITEXT_KEEP_EMPTY_LINES agent option to FALSE to remove empty lines within the selected text.
  • The GetMultiSelText method is not available in the ListViewEx class, which is the equivalent of the ListView class on the Open Agent. To achieve the same functionality for a listview on the Open Agent, use the SelectedItems property of the ListViewEx class.

Example

LIST OF STRING lsSelected
lsSelected = DialogBox1.Elements.GetMultiSelText()
