How to retrieve the selected values from a multiple select listbox?

the command iwitem.getvalue() returns number,number[] and string, but I need to know how to use this function to return the array of selected values.
i wrote the following code:

var item=Iwdatacapture.getitem("/Root/ListSet");
var label=item.getOptions[item.getValue()].text;

this function is working fine if I select a single value from the ListSet and print it, but this is not working when i select more than one value.
any suggestions on how to use this function?

Of course it will not work....var label=item.getOptions[item.getValue()].text;

Let's disect this line a little bit:

item.getOptions[index] -- uses an index.

item.getValue -- if you select a "single" item then it'll return that index #. However, if you select more than one items, it'll return an array of selected indices. Your logic needs to handle both use cases. Current logic will only handle "single" selection and multiple selections.

HTH!

After writing the index, i got all the values of the listbox. but the problem is am getting all of them,and not the selected ones. the getvalue() option works with index?
