Preserve selections

Desktop wxRuby

hi,

could any1 help me to figure out how to preserve selections in extended
listbox please?

f.e. i have a button to move up/down selected item(s), but after i click
it and selection goes up or down i loose selections.

i’d like to create an array which would hold those selections via
get_selections(), but i dont see any method to select an item in a
listbox.

Best regards
M.Szatanik

If you really needs selection,
perhaps you can use checklistbox ?

The method you want is select() - ListBox inherits it from
Wx::ControlWithItems.
