    In This Topic

    The MultiSelectListBox control is an advanced ListBox control that supports check boxes for each item, ability to select all items and a feature to filter the list. The control is represented by the MultiSelectListBox class which allows it to displays a list of items which may contain plain text or HTML, and allows users to select multiple items. The MultiSelectListBox class allows you to select all items in the list using the ShowSelectAllCheckbox property and filter the items using the ShowFilterInput property. In addition, it allows you to programmatically retrieve the checked items using the CheckedItems property.

                    if (n > 40) n = n / 2;
                    else if (n > 20) n = 20;
                    items.forEach(function (item) {

                        if (n >= 0) {
                            html += "<li>" + item.ProductName + "</li>";
