multilistbox, scene objects

Submitted by sdds on Wed, 2016-02-24 02:36

hi all im having trouble selecting objects with a multilistbox. ive manged to get the names of selected items as strings. what i want is the actual selected listbox objects to be added to an array. Any help would be great, a standard listbox is much easier lol

arr = cameras as array
listed = sort(for i in arr collect i.name)

rollout test "" width:162 height:243
(
multilistbox mylistbox "ListBox" pos:[19,25] width:122 height:9 items: listed

button del "del"
on del pressed do
(

--sets items names from bitarray to string array
selNames = for i in mylistbox.selection collect mylistbox.items[i]
print selNames
)
)
