How can I select multiple options from a selectlist with preset selected values in Salesforce?

Hi Pranav,

You can achieve the multi select option from a select list in this way:-

Page:-

<apex:page controller=”MultiselectController”>
<apex:form >
<apex:selectList value=”{!value}” size=”3″ multiselect=”true” label=”blah” id=”blah” >
<apex:selectOptions value=”{!options}” />
</apex:selectList>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Controller:-

public class MultiselectController {
public List<SelectOption> options { get; set; }
public String[] value { get; set; }

public MultiselectController() {
value = new String[] { ‘a’, ‘b’,’c’};
options = new List<SelectOption> {
new SelectOption(‘a’, ‘a’),
new SelectOption(‘b’, ‘b’),
new SelectOption(‘c’, ‘c’),
new SelectOption(‘d’, ‘d’),
new SelectOption(‘e’, ‘e’)
};
}
}
