Small update before the movie starts, to display the listbox with pre selected
items:
$lb = new-object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$lb.SelectionMode = [System.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode]::MultiExtended
[void]$lb.Items.Add("powershell")
[void]$lb.Items.Add("rocks!")
$lb.SetSelected(0,$true)
$lb.SetSelected(1,$true)
$form.Controls.AddRange(@($lb,$OK))
