Description

Gets the user list box selected items.

Returns an array of zero based indices of the selected items of the list box user control that is specified by userControlID.

Because list box user controls can have multiple selected items (if the -multi flag was specified for the createListBox command), an array must be returned.

If there are no selected items, an empty array is returned.
