That's a problem in Windows 10 with (I think) CS6. The fix is simple: instead of adding the listbox to the window, add a dummy group to the window and add the listbox to that dummy. Change the first three lines as follows:

var w = new Window ("dialog");
var dummy = w.add ("group")
var myList = dummy.add ("listbox", undefined, ["one", "two", "three"], {multiselect: true});

Note that you should set the multiselect property.

Hi,

Try this..

var w = new Window ("dialog");

var myList = w.add ("listbox", undefined, ["one", "two", "three"]);

var print = w.add ("button", undefined, "Print");

print.onClick = function ()

{

for (var i = 0; i < myList.items.length; i++)

$.writeln (myList.items.text);

}

w.show ();

Thanks
