Do you see why this

LOCAL lnI, lnIndex
IF NOT EMPTY(taSelectedItems[1])
  FOR lnI = 1 TO ALEN(taSelectedItems,1)
     lnIndex = ASCAN(this.List, taSelectedItems[m.lnI],1,this.ListCount,1,8) 
     IF m.lnIndex > 0
        this.Selected(m.lnI,1) = .T.
     ENDIF
  NEXT
ENDIF

produces List is not an array? May be I can not call this code from the form's Init?

Well, the answer is in the Help:


List property works in conjunction with the ListCount property; enumerating a list from 1 to ListCount returns all items in the list.

You cannot use array functions with the List property. However, if you set the RowSourceType property to 5 (Array) and set the RowSource property to the array of values to be contained in the list, you can use array functions on the array specified in the RowSource property.



UPDATE. I switched to the array as a rowsource for the listbox and this way the problem was solved.
