Description

The select_count property maintains the total number of selected items in the menu. As items are selected or deselected the select_count property is updated.

The select_count property is typically used with multi_select menus and lists. The user may select zero, one, or multiple items and the program can process them. To select more than one item, the Select_Mode property should be set to Multi_Select. Use the select_count property to determine if users have selected any items and if so, how many.

Sample

Get Select_Count To iSelectedItems
If (iSelectedItems > 0) Begin
    Get Item_Count To iItems
    Decrement iItems
    While (iItems >= 0)
        Get Select_State Item iItems To bSelected
        If (bSelected) Begin
            // Do whatever you want to do with the selected item
        End
        Decrement iItems
    Loop
End
