Looking to program what line is pre-selected/highlighted in a list box. Tried the book. That didn't work.

Thanks

You must set selection-index to the line you require.

Thanks.
That worked.
maybe in another year, I will know enough to have more challenging questions.

As long as I have you on the line....
is there ( and I don't think so ) any way in a list box to change/set the font of a single line within a multi-line list box? I would like to have a bolded heading for each grouping within the list box. Ex: Bathroom, Kitchen etc.. and the products below.

thanks

no the list box will not let you do that. Given the description of what you are trying to do, you might want to think about using a tree view rather than the list box, as this will allow you the hierarchichal aspect you seem to suggest
