The "value" of the multilist control simply positions the list with "value"
at the top. The choices are not kept in an array; reading those multiple
values requires indeed having a loop to go through INTO values one at the
time until none is left.
Conclusion: one cannot "assign" multiple values to multilist control.

Subject: MI-L: multi list boxes
Hi there,
Is it possible to display a dialog with a multi-listbox where more than one
item is selected initially (in other words, immediately the dialog is
displayed - so there isn't a chance to use the alter control value syntax
from a handler).
I've been trying things along the lines of:
declare sub main
sub main
dim int_loop_count as integer
dim str_list(10) as string
for int_loop_count=1 to 10
str_list(int_loop_count)=str$(int_loop_count)
next
dialog
title "blah"
control multilistbox
title from variable str_list
value "1;2;4"
end sub
Which, not surprisingly, doesn't work!
Apologies if this has come up before, and many thanks in advance.
