limit the number selections in a listbox

Is there a way to limit the number of selected items (lets say 20) of a
multi-select listbox. I tried putting code in the click event, but it does
not work when the user holds the shift key and selects a group of list
items.

Thanks

No. You would have to put code in to count the number of selected
items, but then what would you do if the user selected 30 as a group?

I think it would be better to let the user select anything, then check
at the time you process the selections and give an error if too many
are selected.
