Delete doesn't work with multiple selection (Read 4336 times)

	When the user hits the DEL key with 2 or more boxes in the selection, only the single most recently selected box is deleted. Is there a way to delete all boxes in the selection when the DEL key is pressed? Thanks - Tim

	The Del key only deletes the 'active' item, that's the one whose selection handles are white. There isn't an easy way to override that. You could try handling Del yourself using the KeyDown event. There delete all selected items in a loop, kind of: void fc_KeyDown(...) { while (fc.Selection.Objects.Count > 0) fc.DeleteObject(fc.Selection.Objects[0]); } Stoyan

	but with this method, the fc_BoxDeleting event is not fired, right? Do we have other ways to accomplish this? while (fc.Selection.Objects.Count > 0) fc.DeleteObject(fc.Selection.Objects[0]);

	BoxDeleting is a validation event raised when the user tries to delete a box using the Del key. By handling the event you can prevent the operation. BoxDeleted should be raised both when users delete items and when you do it via the DeleteObject method. Stoyan

	Is there any way or workaround to delete multiple boxes by using Del key yet calling box_Deleting handler of each box?

	You could call fc_BoxDeleting yourself, or just move your code from there to the loop where you call DeleteObject. Stoyan
