The control supports single or multiple selection. Use the SelectItem property to select or unselect programmatically an item. Use the SelectCount and SelectedItem properties to enumerate the collection of selected items. The SelectionChanged event is fired when the user changes the selection. Use the SelForeColor and SelBackColor properties to specify colors for selected items. Use the SingleSel property of the control to allow multiple selection. If the control supports only single selection ( SingleSel property is True ), the FocusItem retrieves the selected item too. Use the Caption property to specify the cell's caption. Use the SelectAll method to select all items in the list. Use the UnselectAll method to unselect all items in the list.
