[SOLVED]Select multiple lines by code in a listbox

[zztemp]

So i have a listbox that has a set of AD-group objects.
Then i have a "memberof" list comming from a computer object.
When rendering the listbox, i'd like to select the groups that match.

I've build myself an example.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. # build list with groups into listbox1
2.  
3. $groups = get-adgroup -LDAPFilter "(name=gc08*)" | Select name
4.  
5. foreach ($g in $groups){
6.  
7.         $listbox1.Items.Add($g.Name)
8.  
9. }
10.  
11.  
12.  
13. #mock memberof groups
14.  
15. $searchstrings = @(
16.  
17.     "*informatica*",
18.  
19.     "*HR*",
20.  
21.     "*Marketing*"
22.  
23. )
24.  
25.  
26.  
27. #Pre-select current groups
28.  
29. foreach ($searchstring in $searchstrings){
30.  
31.     for ($i = 0; $i -lt $listbox1.Items.Count; $i++)    {
32.  
33.         $p = $listBox1.Items[$i].ToString()
34.  
35.         if ($p -like $searchstring)     {
36.  
37.             Write-Host "Match found with filter $($searchstring):" $listBox1.Items[$i]
38.  
39.             $listBox1.SetSelected($i, $true);
40.  
41.         }
42.  
43.     }
44.  
45. }

This sorta works, in the console it prints out my matches, but it only sets one value as selected.
I have set the SelectionMode to MultiExtended but that made no difference.
Anyone can help me out?

I am sorry but your request is not very clear. I cannot see or understand what the purpose of your code is or what you mean by your question.

To find select3ed items in a ListBox you need to look at the items that are in the "SelectedItems" property of the ListBox.

Here is a good article to help you learn the basics of using controls in a form.

Ok that's my bad, i'll try to clarify.

I have computer1 and i retrieve it's groupmembership. It is member of Group 1 and Group 2
I retrieve these groups by selecting the computer from a list.
Upon selecting that computer, a second listbox gets filled, it holds all possible groups.

What i want to do is, when that listbox gets filled, it should already select Group 1 and Group 2.

Edit, i found a solution, i've edited my code, maybe it might help someone some day.
