Multiple click while holding Ctrl

Hi,

we have in application "multiple select functionality" done by ajax. What I need is to perform multiple selection by holding CTRL and clicking on desired elements.
I have tried this, but it always selects only one row (span element): 
_click(_span("item 1"));
_keyDown(_div("Selectbox"), [17,17])
_click(_span("item 2"));
_click(_span("item 3"));
_keyUp(_div("Selectbox"), [17,17])

I have found one topic here about this problem, but without solution:

Thanks for help

    Hi Jirka,

    _click takes a second parameter for combo: This means you can pass "CTRL", "ALT", "META", "SHIFT" as second parameter to specify combination of keypress and mouse action.

    Try:

    _click(_span("item 1"));
    _click(_span("item 2"), "CTRL");
    _click(_span("item 3"), "CTRL");

    Regards,
    Narayan

    Thanks, it works :)

    Maybe you should write this into the manual page here:

    Done. Thanks for pointing out. We are updating the other APIs too.
