problem setting more than one selected value in a list box

Paul

Hi I have a listbox and have the selection mode set to multiple in the
property box.
I am trying to set multiple selected values in code but it only seems to use
the last one.
listbox.SelectedValue = 1
listbox.SelectedValue = 2
thanks.
only 2 gets set above.

ListBox.Items(0).Value = "Foo"
ListBox.Items(1).Value = "Foo1"

The number (0) is the ordinal reference of the list box item, zero based,
starting from the top.

Your code was actually setting the selected value, as would happen if the
user clicked the item on the list.

Hope that helps!

Simon.

Hi,
you can do something like this:

Dim item As ListItem

For Each item in ListBox1.Items
If item.Text = "something" Then
item.Selected = True
End If
Next
