LB_SETSEL

An application sends an LB_SETSEL message to select a string in a multiple-selection list box.

LB_SETSEL 
wParam = (WPARAM) (BOOL) fSelect;   // selection flag 
lParam = (LPARAM) (UINT) index;     // item index 
 

Parameters

fSelect

index

Value of lParam. Specifies the zero-based index of the string to set. If index is –1, the selection is added to or removed from all strings, depending on the value of fSelect.
