ListView allows the user to select a single item from the displayed list by default. However, you can choose to select multiple items using **SelectionMode** property of the **C1ListView** class.

The **SelectionMode** property determines how the items are selected in a ListView control. It allows you to disable the selection, select a single item or multiple items. Further, you can also select multiple consecutive items while holding down the Ctrl key.

| **Selection Modes** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| None | The user can not select any item. |
| Single | The user can select only one item at a time. |
| Multiple | The user can select multiple items without holding down a the Ctrl key. |
| Extended | The user can select multiple consecutive items while holding down the Ctrl key. |

The following code shows the selection of multiple items in the ListView control.

```xml
<c1:C1ListView x:Name="C1ListView" SelectionMode="Multiple" />
