Multiselect control

The multiselect control is used for creating a single line of text with multiple selectable pieces of text that can perform various actions. You can choose the position, size, and look of the text and highlights as well as choosing what action(s) should be performed when items are selected. The multiselect control can also be used inside list containers.

Example

<control type="multiselect" id="13">
