Hi Steve,
I am new to Webware, FormKit etc. but I think I can help you out on this
one:
choices = BaseChoiceClasses.ChoiceList()
for f in 'apple banana blueberry kiwi orange strawberry'.split():
choices.addChoice(f, f)
choices.setSelected(['kiwi', strawberry'])
See also attached servlet (fruits.py) with full example of a multi-select
field.
HTH,
Martin
