Adds multiselect capability to the tasklist (10.58 KB, patch)
2009-08-08 23:36 UTC, Marcus Carlson 		none Details | Review

Description Chris Altmann 2003-07-12 04:26:10 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to Ctrl+Click to select multiple arbitrary 
tasks in the tasklist. One could then right click on one of the selected 
tasks to get the context menu. That context menu would apply to all 
selected tasks. If a task group was selected, all windows in that group 
would be affected.

For an example of how this might work, see Windows 98 thru XP (Possibly 
Windows 95 too).

Imapct on UI complexity would be minimal (to the user). Evidence for this 
is that I didn't know you could do this on Windows and I've been using it 
since Win95 beta ;)

It does sound useful, I would take a patch for this.

Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.

Adds multiselect capability to the tasklist

This patch implements the multiselect feature described in the bug report. I've done a lot of testing and can no longer make it crash but it would be good if some good tester could give it a try as well.

Please let me know if there's something with the code/behavior you'd like to change and I'll fix it.

Comments?

I just tested this bug, in combination with #62721 and it worked very well. Anyone for a review?
