I have a listbox and I am drawing my items.
For some reason the selected item doesn't show a selection....
this seems to happen even if I tell it to draw focus rectangle.
What should I do to so a selected item?
Thanks,

BluDog,
I think according to Ken, I must manually draw it... It thought there might
be some other thing like drawfocusrectan gle....
If I just need to draw it then I can do that.

Hi,
A colleague of mine has added a 60,000 array of strings to a listbox using
the addrange method.
He did this because it seemed the quickest method of getting 60,000 items
into the listbox.
He would now like different "text" and "value" properties for each item in
the listbox. Given the number of items, what would be the most efficient way
of doing this?
