Anatoli,
Add this line after $lb the declaration:
$lb.SelectionMode = [System.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode]::MultiSimple
or
$lb.SelectionMode = [System.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode]::MultiExtended
Then call
$lb.SelectedItems
From MSDN
The SelectionMode property enables you to determine how many items in the
ListBox a user can select at one time and how the user can make multiple-selections.
When the SelectionMode property is set to SelectionMode.MultiExtended, pressing
SHIFT and clicking the mouse or pressing SHIFT and one of the arrow keys
(UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, and RIGHT ARROW) extends the selection
from the previously selected item to the current item. Pressing CTRL and
clicking the mouse selects or deselects an item in the list. When the property
is set to SelectionMode.MultiSimple, a mouse click or pressing the SPACEBAR
selects or deselects an item in the list.
I'll have to check for the drop down list tommorow, my wife wants to watch
a movie now :-)
