I believe that I made some similar code work before, but that was at home on WinXP. Now this is on Windows 2000 and with Perl 5.8.4.

The problem is that when the Listbox lost focus, its selection is also lost. So if I have two Listboxes, I cannot make both of them have row selected.

I have tried different selectmode and exportselection, no use.

Here is a strip down version of the code:

use Net::Telnet;
use Tk;
use Tk::ROText;
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
my $f = $mw->Frame(-border => 1)->pack(-side => "left", -fill => "both
+");
my $envs_list;
$envs_list = $f->Scrolled("Listbox", -scrollbars=>"e", -exportselectio
+n => 1, -selectmode=>"extended")->pack(-fill => 'both');
$envs_list->insert("end", "abcd");
$envs_list->insert("end", "abcd");
$envs_list->insert("end", "abcd");
$envs_list->insert("end", "abcd");

my $list;
$list = $f->Scrolled("Listbox", -scrollbars=>"e", -exportselection => 
+1, -selectmode=>"extended")->pack(-fill => 'both');
$list->insert("end", "abcd");
$list->insert("end", "abcd");
$list->insert("end", "abcd");
$list->insert("end", "abcd");
$list->insert("end", "abcd");
