sorry, typing too fast and missed the word *not*, should have read:
so no functionality was *not* lost between 2 and 3....

i think you're getting confused:from the GTK-3 manual explaining how this option:GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLEAny number of elements may be selected. The Ctrl key may be used to enlarge the selection, and Shift key to select between the focus and the child pointed to. Some widgets may also allow Click-drag to select a range of elements.in other words, what you want (different ways to select multiple records) all happens with the single enum specifier GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE. i can also confirm this is also how it works in GTK-2.so no functionality was lost between 2 and 3, and gtk also agrees with all those other platforms you cite (assuming you're referring to available functionality, as opposed to exactly how the enums are named... ;)the example you coded didn't work like this?richardHi,

I didn't look at the code. I just followed the documentation.

OK.

Well, there are multiple scenarios.
1. Just clicking on the item.
2. Clicking on the item with the Ctrl key pressed
3. Clicking on the item with the Shift key pressed.
I think that 1 should be defined as multi-select, while 2 and 3 should
be defined as extended one.
And from what I understand, MSW, OSX and Qt all agree with me. ;-)
Thank you.
