How to Preselect Items in ProtoListPicker (9/20/96)

Q: If I put name references in the selected array of a protoListPicker, it throws a -48402 error. How do I preselect items?

A: In the MessagePad 120/130 units it is not possible to preselect items in the listPicker and have it work correctly. We recommend that you use the "protoSlimPicker" DTS Sample Code instead.
