Removing Selected Items in ListBox

 

In this article, we will remove the items we have selected in the listbox. Listbox structure is given below.

 

lbox= Listbox(root, selectmode= MULTIPLE,bd=1, width=70,height=12, font=('Times', 14))

 

In order to select the items in the listbox, we must make the selectmode feature multiple.

#Keep running the window.
