Shift-Click and Control-Click Multi-Select List 1

[RSfromCO]

Does anyone know of a good way to impliment a shift-click or control-click method of selecting multiple items in a listbox instead of it just automatically selecting multiple items with a simple click.

I would prefer that if a user clicks on one item and then clicks on another that it unselect the first item (or however were previously selected). But if the user shift-clicks or control-clicks the second item it would perform a multi-select and leave previously selected items selected.

Right now I'm just using the standard muti-select list and too many times the user expects a single click to automatically un-select anything that was previously selected.

Referencing the listbox [blue]MultiSelect[/blue] property:

[blue][tt]The MultiSelect property uses the following settings.

Visual
Setting Basic Description
******* ****** ***********
None 0 (Default) Multiple selection isn't allowed.

Simple 1 Multiple items are selected or deselected
by clicking them with the mouse or pressing
the SPACEBAR.

Extended 2 Multiple items are selected by holding down
SHIFT and clicking them with the mouse or
by holding down SHIFT and pressing an arrow
key to extend the selection from the
previously selected item to the current
item. You can also select items by dragging
with the mouse. Holding down CTRL and
clicking an item selects or deselects that
item.[/tt][/blue]

Will [blue]Extended[/blue] do?
