List Box E Directive

Syntax

%E%

Description

The E directive defines a multiple selection list box using the standard Windows conventions for selecting multiple items.

Contiguous items in a list can be selected with click and SHIFT-click.
Non-contiguous items in a list can be selected with click and CTRL-click.

When you have multiple directives in a Format string, you separate them with semi-colons (;).
