Property of

ListBox, NoteBook

Description

Set multiple to true if you want to allow the selection of more than one item at one time in a ListBox object. The selections—whether there’s one, many, or none—are returned by the ListBox object’s selected( ) method.

If a NoteBook object’s multiple property is false, all its tabs are displayed in a single row. If there are more tabs than will fit in the width of the notebook, scroll arrows appear. If you set multiple to true, the tabs are stacked, taking up as many rows as needed, decreasing that amount of space below the tabs. The notebook’s visualStyle property has more effect when multiple is true.
