The list box control class has a selection function SelItemRange().
This function, though missing in the CListCtrl class, is easily implemented.
// SelItemRange - Selects/Deselect a range of items
// Returns - The number of new items selected
// bSelect - TRUE to select, FALSE to deselect
// nFirstItem - index of first item to select
// nLastItem - index of last item to select
int CMyListCtrl::SelItemRange(BOOL bSelect, int nFirstItem, int nLastItem)
{
// make sure nFirstItem and nLastItem are valid
if( nFirstItem >= GetItemCount() || nLastItem >= GetItemCount() )
return 0;
int nItemsSelected = 0;
int nFlags = bSelect ? 0 : LVNI_SELECTED;
int nItem = nFirstItem - 1;
while( (nItem = GetNextItem( nItem, nFlags )) >=0
&& nItem <= nLastItem )
{
nItemsSelected++;
SetItemState(nItem, bSelect ? LVIS_SELECTED : 0, LVIS_SELECTED );
}
return nItemsSelected;
}
