SetSelected for a listbox does not select multiple items.

[Henry Padilla]

I'm trying to select multiple items in a listbox and the demo from the help
file is not working. What do I do to select multiple items in a listbox?

Code sample below.
Tom P.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Each SelectedValue In ColumnInfo.Tables(2).Rows
Index = ValuesListBox.FindStringExact(SelectedValue("VALUE_S"))
If Index >= 0 Then
ValuesListBox.SetSelected(Index, True)
End If
Next

Have you set the Listbox selectionMode to either multiSimple or
MultiExtended?

Yes, I did. And sorry for not posting feedback.

This happens if you SetSelected BEFORE the control is added to the form.
For some reason, when it is added to the form, it resets it's selections.

I put in a public "Setup" function and called it after the control was added
to the form and it works perfectly.
