ListboxPlugin with multiple select

[Dave Parker]

Hi Eric,

in this thread from last year:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/c174651c67633604/48d3dab915f23446?lnk=gst&q=listbox+multiple#48d3dab915f23446

you indicated that you might add multiselect capability to the
ListboxPlugin. Is that something you'd still consider doing, or maybe
its already there and I can't see how to do it? (I tried
multiselecting using ctrl+click in a multi-row listbox but it didn't
work.)

If I need this functionality would I be better off switching to using
Data/FormTiddler Plugin (I hope not - I love the ease of use of
ListboxPlugin)?

Thanks ,
Dave Parker

a while, and then it showed up empty)

I had completely forgotten about adding multi-select... thanks for the
reminder.

I've just completed a re-write to add "allowMultiple" as an optional
macro param. When present, you will then be able to use ctrl-click
and/or shift-click to choose multiple items in a listbox (but *not* in
a droplist... they just don't support multi-select... sorry.)

Note: although you can now choose multiple values, they will still be
stored within the single specified 'target' tiddler field, using a
space-separated list format (with [[...]] brackets around values that
contain spaces).

Thank you Eric, that make me very happy! You know you really ought to
put your hat on your picture on tiddlytools so people will know who
you are (you know, the red felt hat with the fuzzy white brim and pom
at the end ;-)
