adding listbox selected items

[lord.zoltar@gmail.com]

Hello
I'm trying to programmaticall y set a listbox to have several items
selected when it is loaded. Which items are selected is based on a
saved user setting.
Right now, I'm trying:
Me.my_ListBox.S electedIndices. Add(item)
This throws exceptions.
What is a safe way to add indices to the SelectedIndices list?

RE: adding listbox selected items

lord.zoltar,

From your example, it looks like you have the items that should be selected.
In that case:

Me.my_ListBox.S electedItems.Ad d(item)

Re: adding listbox selected items

You can use the ListBox control's SetSelected method. Pass it the position
of the list item, and a boolean value, True in this case.

ListBox1.SetSel ected(itemPosit ion, True)

Make sure that you have also set the SelectionMode property for the control
as needed.
