Keyboard Navigation

The ListBox component contains a list of items and (optionally) a ToolBar. When ToolBar is not enabled, the component is a single-tab-stop component. When the ToolBar is present, it is included in the page tab-sequence. Depending on its position and the LTR/RTL configuration, the ToolBar can either preceed or succeed the list of ListBox items. Its tab position will respect its position on the screen.

The ListBox supports the following keyboard shortcuts:
