Need help with lists in TGE

2 Problems:
I am doing the gui for a program in Torque 3d and need to know how to make a list that is scrollable and can be modified dynamically just like a simgroup (adding items, removing items).
1. I put in a GuiScrollCtrl and inside that I have a GuiDirectoryFileListCtrl. The list can be updated by adding files to the correct directory. This is perfect. The thing is, I don't know how to tell it to use a different directory!
2. I can click on items in the GuiDirectoryFileListCtrl and holding Ctrl, I can select/deselect multiple items. This is PERFECT! Now, say I wanted to delete those items from the directory... How would I do that?

I don't know what it's missing, but I assume the scroller window is suppose to have some kind of text list control in it (for adding the text items to the list).
Can someone please help?

Figures, that tutorial is INCOMPLETE!!I don't know what it's missing, but I assume the scroller window is suppose to have some kind of text list control in it (for adding the text items to the list).

That code works beautifully! I am just wondering how I would go about allowing multiple selections? So like, hold and click items in the list to select/deselect as many as you want, then run "removeFromCart" to remove all selected items at once.
Any ideas for that one??

Ok, using that tutorial and a ".dump" of my text list, I managed to get the following code to work, but I have one more problem:function addToCart()
{
// First we grab the test from the text edit control
%text = "test";
// Now we add that text to the list box control
cartList.addRow(0,%text);
}
function removeFromCart()
{
// get the selected item, this is an index in the list
%selected = cartList.getRowID(cartList.getSelectedID());
// delete the selected item
cartList.removeRow(%selected);
}That code works beautifully! I am just wondering how I would go about allowing multiple selections? So like, hold
Any ideas for that one??
