Listbox

The Listbox control it useful where there are a small number of items in a list for the user to choose from.

Typically, a Listbox can be in two modes, Single, or Multi select modes. By default, Form Master uses Multi select mode only. The reason for this is simple, for Single selection mode, a Dropdown List, or RadioButton List provide a better user interface.

For Multi select mode, the preferred field control is the Checkbox List which offers a better user interface as there is no need for the user to know how to use “Ctrl Click” Selects Multiple Items functionality.

The one advantage in using a Listbox is when a user must make a selection, as the Checkbox List cannot have a Required Field Validator, whereas the Listbox can.
