Re: Question about CListCtrl extended style - LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES

This worked for me. Here is what it does, when you select an item that is
not check it will check it. When you unselect an item that is checked it
will uncheck it. when you check an item that is not check it will select

and when you uncheck an item that is checked it will also unselect the

You have to use Ctrl or Shift keys to multiple select the items.

h file of the CListCtrl class
#pragma once

// CCheckListControl

class CCheckListControl : public CListCtrl

 DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CCheckListControl)

  afx_msg void OnLvnItemchanged(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult);

   BOOL m_InChange;
