Multiple Selection

The wijlist widget supports the multiple selection of list items. See the List > Multiple Selection sample of the Control Explorer live demo at http://demo.componentone.com/ASPNET/MVCExplorer/list/MultipleSelection .

Create an ASP.NET MVC 5 Wijmo application.
In the Solution Explorer, expand the Views | Shared folder and double-click _Layout.cshtml to open the file.
Add the following markup within the <body> tags of the page.
```
<div id="list">
</div>
```

Apply the following CSS styling to control the size of the list:

<style type="text/css">
        #list
        {
            height: 200px;
            width: 300px;
        }       
        #testinput
        {
            width: 150px;
            padding: 5px;
        }
    </style>

Insert the following script to create the array and initialize the widget:

<script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            var testArray = [{
                label: 'c++',
                value: 'c++'
            }, {
                label: 'java',
                value: 'java'
            }, {
                label: 'php',
                value: 'php'
            }, {
                label: 'coldfusion',
                value: 'coldfusion'
            }, {
                label: 'javascript',
                value: 'javascript'
            }, {
                label: 'asp',
                value: 'asp'
            }, {
                label: 'ruby',
                value: 'ruby'
            }, {
                label: 'python',
                value: 'python'
            }, {
                label: 'c',
                value: 'c'
            }, {
                label: 'scala',
                value: 'scala'
            }, {
                label: 'groovy',
                value: 'groovy'
            }, {
                label: 'haskell',
                value: 'haskell'
            }, {
                label: 'perl',
                value: 'perl'
            }];
            var list = $("#list");
            var input = $('#testinput');
            list.wijlist({

                        return n.label;
                    }).join(",");

Run the program. Your wijlist should resemble the following image:
