Hi

How can I set up a list/combi box, which allows the selection of more than 1
of the listed items, using for examaple the ctrl key to select multi items.

Thanks in advance for your help

Richard

You can't use a combobox for this.

But you can use a listbox from the control toolbox toolbar. Rightclick on the
combobox and choose properties (make sure you're in design mode first).

Then you can look for the MultiSelect property and change it to
fmmultiselectmulti.

(Same technique if you're using a listbox on a userform.)

===
If you're using a listbox from the Forms toobar, you can rightclick on it and
choose "Format Control".

On the Control tab, change the Selection type to Multi.

Dave,

I am using a listbox on the userform and have changed the property to
MultSelect. It works just how I would like it to work, however how do I
retrieve the text of those selections?

For example, the list is populated by text values in a column such as:

name 1
name 2
name 3
name 4

In the listbox for example if I select name 1 and name 3, I would like those
text values to populate a column in another sheet.

I would like to know, what is the syntax for retrieving those values. I've
tried .List but it only gives me the first text value (i.e. name 1). Also,
..Value doesn't seem to give me anything either.

Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I created a small userform with a commandbutton and a listbox on it. Maybe
this'll give you an idea.

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim iCtr As Long
Dim DestCell As Range

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set DestCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With

With Me.ListBox1
For iCtr = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(iCtr) = True Then
DestCell.Value = .List(iCtr)
Set DestCell = DestCell.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next iCtr
End With

End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim iCtr As Long

Me.CommandButton1.Caption = "Ok"

'you can also specify that setting in code
Me.ListBox1.MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectMulti

For iCtr = 1 To 5
Me.ListBox1.AddItem "Name " & iCtr
Next iCtr

End Sub

So when changing the property to allow multi selection, does the Linked cell
become inactive, so that the only way to return the multi items selected is
by using code.

Thanks Dave, there was syntax that was in your code that I was looking for
and it works!
