how to select item into ListBox ?

Hi all !

How to programmatically select item in the ListBox by item index?

listbox1.selection.index=1 -  not worked

Works for me. I also as save the user's last choice so  the next time the dialog is used the default may not be 1.

Here is what I user in some of my scripts.

	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a =dlg.msgPnl.add('group');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.orientation='row';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.alignment='fill';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.st1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.add('statictext',undefined,'Name Stamp Text  Location:');
	var position =['Top Left','Top Center','Top Right','Center Left','Center','Center Right','Bottom Left','Bottom Center','Bottom Right'];
	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.dd1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.add('dropdownlist',undefined,position);
	dlg.msgPnl.grp5a.dd1.selection=textLocationDefault;

	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a =dlg.msgPnl.add('group');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.orientation='row';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.alignment='fill';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.st1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.add('statictext',undefined,'Font');
	fontlist = new Array();
	for (var i=0,len=app.fonts.length;i<len;i++) {
		fontlist =  app.fonts.name;
	}
	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.dd1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.add('dropdownlist',undefined,fontlist);
	dlg.msgPnl.grp6a.dd1.selection=1;

	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a =dlg.msgPnl.add('group');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.orientation='row';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.alignment='fill';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.st1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.add('statictext',undefined,'Text Layer Style:  ');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.dd1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.add('dropdownlist',undefined,textStyleList);
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.dd1.preferredSize.width = 160;
	dlg.msgPnl.grp7a.dd1.selection=textStyleDefault;

	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a =dlg.msgPnl.add('group');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.orientation='row';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.alignment='fill';
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.st1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.add('statictext',undefined,'Image Layer Style:');
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.dd1 = dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.add('dropdownlist',undefined,imageStyleList);
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.dd1.preferredSize.width = 160;
	dlg.msgPnl.grp8a.dd1.selection=imageStyleDefault;
