Selection Mode Standards

 We are able to select multiple items without using the Ctrl or Shift Modifiers as opposed to standards suggested by Microsoft.

 From the below link I expect the DiagramSurface to work in this way.

When SelectionMode =  Extended

            The Multi select should work by pressing Ctrl key.

            Also when we click on a selected item with the ctrl key pressed it should deselect.

Thanks

Hello EK

I have modified the SelectionMode logic to follow the functionality of a ListBox. This fix will be available through tonights nightly build.

There are 2 things you'll want to be aware of with this:

As you may know, the visibility of the the Resizer on each node is determined by the selected state of the node it belongs to. So in multiple or extended mode, if you select multiple nodes and then wish to move them, the node that you press the mouse over before dragging will toggle the visibility of the Resizer. You should play around with this to see what I mean.

Secondly, in extended mode, according to the functionality of a ListBox, pressing a mouse button over a node without holding Ctrl will select that node, and deselect all other elements. A slight problem with this is moving multiple nodes. When pressing a mouse button on the node your going to drag, it deselects all other nodes meaning they won't be moved. This is avoided when holding Ctrl, but may not be ideal.

When you download this fix and try it out, let us know your opinions on how it feels and also what you think of the above situations.
