New Post: ListBox.SelectedItems convention

Bladewise,

I have one other question which has got me a little stumped. I am trying to get items selected when the View loads. So in your example code I added the following line to the ShellViewModel constructor

 SelectedItems.Add(Items.First());

When I run this code, I see that Arabic (which is the first item in the list) appears in the right hand top panel BUT the Arabic line on the left hand side is not highlighted as being selected. I am probably doing something stupid - could you please enlighten me once more.

Thanks
Alan
