    Allowing Operator to Select ListBox Items with One Hand

    I have a number of ListBoxes in the application that allow selection of multiple items. Is there a way I can configure them so that a single click on an item will act like the Ctrl key is held down? This should be configurable by operator because only one operator has limited use of her left arm/hand.



    Thanks

    ctrl+Click is already a shortcut keystroke combination. Not finding any way to assign that action to another single key or solo click.

    An alternative is to have code add each selected item to another listbox then code does what needs to be done using the list from second box.

    Another approach is a checkbox bound to a yes/no field to select records.

    After more research, I found that there was only one ListBox that needed this one-handed selection capability, not a large number. I used the check box idea and it worked great. Thanks.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
