SelectItem

This method is used to select an item in a list box or drop down list. When used with a boolean argument it can also be used to deselect an item in a list box.

Use with list boxes and drop down lists

The single argument form of this method selects the item identified by the handle.

For example:

 Handle = .ListControl1.Add(ItemText$)
 REM Select the item
 .ListControl1.SelectItem(Handle)

Use with list boxes

For multiple selection list boxes there a form which takes a boolean argument is provided. This allows items to be selected or deselected. This form also works with a single selection listbox, in which case only one item at a time will remain selected.

For example:

 Handle = .ListControl1.Add(ItemText$)
 REM Select the item
 .ListControl1.SelectItem(Handle, TRUE)
 REM Deselect the item
 .ListControl1.SelectItem(Handle, FALSE)
