Multiple Select in "Invite someone to Conv" by yweinsto on 05-20-2005 at 07:37 PM
Does anyone know of a plugin that allows you to select muliple people to invite to a conversation (instead of having to do it individualy).
Thanks,
yweinsto

holding CTRL while selecting => selecting/deselecting multiple individual items
holding SHIFT => selecting/deselecting all items from the current item to the one you just clicked on
holding CTRL and SHIFT while selecting => selecting/deselecting all items from the current item to the one you just clicked on when you're selecting/deselecting individual items

It should work: works with me.
RE: Multiple Select in "Invite someone to Conv" by yweinsto on 05-23-2005 at 03:20 PM
Just to confirm we are doing the same thing...
I click on 'Send Instant Message' and then get a pop-up window with 'My Contacts' and 'Other' tabs, in the 'My Contacts' tab i see a list of all my contacts and when I keep ctrl or shift down and click on the contacts it doesn't highlight multiple contacts but it just highlights the contact that I click on.
What version of Windows Messenger are you using?
RE: Multiple Select in "Invite someone to Conv" by RaceProUK on 05-23-2005 at 05:21 PM
That's not inviting to a conversation: that's starting a new one.
RE: Multiple Select in "Invite someone to Conv" by yweinsto on 05-23-2005 at 06:08 PM
Sorry, I left that part out....
When i have an open conversation and click on 'Invite someone to conversation', i can only select one at a time ( CTRL+Click and SHIFT+Click doesnt work)

You could try right clicking on a group and selecting " send instant message to this group " it's probably not what youre seaching for, but might help you out a little..

Does this feature work in a later (or earlier) version of Messenger?
