Comments

The SelectionGroupStart method returns the index of the first selected item in a group of selected items.

In a multiple selection tree control, many discontiguous groups of items may be selected. While the Items.Selection property returns an index for each selected item, the Items.SelectionGroupStart and Items.SelectionGroupEnd properties return each group of selected items. For a large number of selected items this is the preferred method.

The Items.SelectionGroups property returns the number of groups of selected items.
