select/highlight multiple rows listitems.

[mike]

How do i do the following:

lbCountries.SelectedValue = "826";

lbCountries.SelectedValue = "840";

Basically i've set the selectmode to multiple and want to select multiple
values of the listbox on databind.

the problem is this only selects the last row "840" -- i would imagine this
would happen because i'm just replacing the value of selectedvalue. Does
anyone know how to select multiple values?

thanks all in advance

us listbox.setselected method
example

lbCountries.SetSelected ( lbCountries.FindStringExact("826"), True )
lbCountries.SetSelected ( lbCountries.FindStringExact("840"), True )

Sorry, I was thinking of windows programing and windows ListBox

For web Listbox control you have to use
lbCountries.Items.FindByValue("826").Selected = true;

lbCountries.Items.FindByValue("840").Selected = true;

instead of

lbCountries.SetSelected ( lbCountries.FindStringExact("826"), True )
lbCountries.SetSelected ( lbCountries.FindStringExact("840"), True )

Hope This Helps
