Windows Forms - How do I select all items in Listbox by pressing Ctrl A
In Windows Forms, I want user to be able to select all items in a Listbox by pressing default hotkeys as we are all used to, Ctrl + A.
I came up with something like this, and although it works,
private bool clickedControl;
private void lstFiles_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
// reset clicked ctrl:
clickedControl = false;
}
private void lstFiles_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyValue == 17)
{
clickedControl = true;
}
else
{
if (clickedControl == true && e.KeyValue == 65)
{
// clicked Ctrl + A, select all items:
for (int i = 0; i < lstFiles.Items.Count; i++)
{
lstFiles.SetSelected(i, true);
}
}
}
}
this feels so very wrong and boilerplated, and I needed to introduce flag clickedControl
, and I could be missing something that I haven't noticed, so I'm sure WinForms and .NET 4x has some better solution for my problem?
c#
.net
