Hi Geoff,

I actually just remembered, that Mike Asherman who designed that class originally had some special code in listbox when and other events. But may be it would be easier to you to go with multiselect grid instead. Check out Cetin Basoz class and my Container with Multiselect grid class here in Downloads area. Perhaps it can suit your needs.

I found that it was losing its settings. It is almost as though changing the setting doesnt hold past the local events but that is a wild guess.
