>Hi Fred,
>>>

>>ENDFOR

Finally I discovered, that RightClick() loose the current selection and keeps only one item selected. Is there a way to avoid this behavior or RightClick is a bad place to put such code?

Nadya,
I think you'll have that problem with any method and using the mouse associated with that object. My suggestion would be to have a command button that starts up the deletion process, that way the mouse click on the button won't change the selected items of your ListBox.
