The settings for the Selected property are:
| Setting | Description |
| True (.T.) | The item is selected. |
| False (.F.) | (Default) The item isn't selected. |
Remarks
The Selected property is particularly useful where users can make multiple selections. You can quickly check which items in a list are selected. You can also use this property to select or deselect items in a list from within a program. To check whether the third item in a list box is selected, issue the following:
IF MyList.Selected(3)
WAIT WINDOW "It's selected!"
ELSE
WAIT WINDOW "It's not!"
