According to the documentation[^] mult-select is not supported. You would probably need to use subclassing[^] to achieve this.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Yes, and I gave it to you in my previous answer. You need to subclass the control and add your own code to make multi-select work.

As Richard has pointed out, there is no support for multi selection for a tree control, so it is something that has to be added on your own. However from his link to the documentation, there is another link to an article that suggest with Windows Vista and onward, there is support for multi selection on a tree control. Check out this link and see if it helps you to get started. Windows Vista Control Enhancements[^] :)

Interesting that the article was written in 2007, and yet the link I found claims to be current as of 2012. :confused:

That documentation was rated down and that might be part of the reason. Though there is no mention if the Vista control enhancements ever made it back into the main stream, like Win 7 or 8. :)
