6.2.1 List interaction

To get a particular interaction, supply one of the values above to the :interaction keyword, like this:

(contain 
 (make-instance 
  'list-panel 
  :items '("Red" "Green" "Blue") 
  :interaction :multiple-selection)) 

Note that :no-selection is not a supported choice for list panels. To display a list of items with no selection possible you should use a display-pane .
