KB189505 - FIX: Init Event Code to Multilselect List Box Items Fails

RESOLUTION

To obtain the proper behavior, you can use a Timer object to control the code that you multi-select.

Steps to Use a Timer Object

Create a form with a list box object and name the list box List1.
In the Init event of the form , add the following code:
```
THIS.Timer1.ENABLED = .T.
					
```
Add a Timer control to the form and name it Timer1. Set the Interval property to 50.

Add the following code to the Timer event of Timer1:

THISFORM.List1.ADDITEM("Red")
      THISFORM.List1.ADDITEM("Green")
      THISFORM.List1.ADDITEM("Blue")
      THISFORM.List1.MULTISELECT = .T.
      THISFORM.List1.SELECTED(2) = .T.
      THISFORM.List1.SELECTED( 3 ) = .T.
      THIS.INTERVAL = 0
      THIS.ENABLED = .F.

Run the form and note that both the second and third items are properly selected.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a form with a list box object and name the list box List1.

In the Init event of the form add the following code:

THIS.list1.ADDITEM('red')
      THIS.list1.ADDITEM('green')
      THIS.list1.ADDITEM('blue')
      THIS.list1.MULTISELECT=.T.
      THIS.list1.SELECTED(2)=.T.
      THIS.list1.SELECTED(3)=.T.

Close and then run the form. Note that the third item has a dotted line around it and the second item is not selected when both items should be selected.
