# Selection

RadListView supports a selection feature which triggers by a click or tap on a list view item.

The selection is enabled by default and it supports the following modes:

* **Single**: Single item can be selected (default).
* **Multiple**: Multiple items can be selected.
* **Extended**: Single item can be selected, unless you hold the Ctrl key. This allows multiple selection.
* **None**: No selection is allowed.

The selection mode is controlled with the **SelectionMode** property (of type DataControlsSelectionMode) of RadListView.

The selected items can be set or get with the **SelectedItem** and **SelectedItems** properties of RadListView.

The selection can be set also with the the following **methods**:

* **SelectItem**(object *item*): Selects the specified data item and adds it in the SelectedItems collection.
* **DeselectItem**(object *item*): Removes the selection for the specified data item and removes it from the SelectedItems collection.
* **SelectAll**(): If multiple selection is allowed, this method selects all items in the list view.
* **DeselectAll**(): Clears the currently selected items.

The click/tap over an item raises the following actions:

* The **SelectionChanged** event of RadListView.
* The **CollectionChanged** event of the SelectedItems collection.
* The **ItemTapCommand**. Read more in the [Commands](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radlistview/features/listview-commands) article.
