In order to select multiple items in a list box use modifier keys (such as Ctrl or Shift). For selecting both the items with the text "item 1" and "item 3" in a multi-select list box (that has the extended selection style), type the following:

listBox.Select("item 1")
listBox.Select("item 3", ModifierKeys.Control)

In a multi-select list box with the multiple selection style a user can deselect a selected item by clicking on it. The following code selects two items in such a list box and then deselects the first one.

listBox.Select("item 1")
listBox.Select("item 3")
listBox.Select("item 1") ' deselects "item 1"
