ListView.selectionMode property
Gets or sets a value that specifies how many ListView items can be selected.
Syntax
<div
data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"
data-win-options="{ selectionMode : 'value'}" >
</div>
var selectionMode = listView.selectionMode;
listView.selectionMode = selectionMode;
Property value
Type: SelectionMode**
One of the values defined by the SelectionMode enumeration. The default value is multi.
Do not set the TapBehavior property to "directSelect" when the SelectionMode is set to "none".
Note The SelectionMode value single is not supported for Windows Phone Store apps.
Examples
The following example sets the selection mode so that only a single item can be selected.
<div id="basicListView"
data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"
data-win-options="{ itemDataSource : DataExample.itemList.dataSource,
itemTemplate: mediumListIconTextTemplate,
selectionMode: 'single'}">
</div>
(For the complete code that creates the ListView in this example, see the Quickstart: Adding a ListView topic.)
The next example shows how to set the selectionMode of the ListView in JavaScript.
var myListView = document.getElementById("basicListView1").winControl;
myListView.selectionMode = WinJS.UI.SelectionMode.single;
This example demonstrates how to use the selection property to select all items in a ListView, clear the selection, and display the number of items selected.
