GSelectionDialog::getMultipleSelection

Description

In BBj 11.0 and higher, this method returns whether 'multiple selection' if turned on in the selection dialog.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
boolean	getMultipleSelection()

Parameters

None.

Return Values

Returns true (1) if multiple selection is turned on, otherwise false (0) is returned.

Remarks

This method is not for use when using a GDocFolderSelectionDialog.

When multiple item selection is allowed, a mouse left click with no keyboard modifier selects the clicked item and deselects any previously clicked items.

Mouse left click with CMD key pressed (macOS) or CTRL key pressed (Windows) selects the clicked item without deselecting previously clicked items.

Mouse left click with SHIFT key pressed selects the entire range between the previously clicked item through the current clicked item.
