If the specified data attribute value is Vector, the selected value is stored in the vector as the value of the first cell. The size of an updated vector reflects the total number of selected items. For a Single selection, the List box data property, defined as a Vector, returns 1.
When the Selection Mode = Multiple, the specified attribute value is displayed as series of selected values determined by the Items List or the Linked Field, separated by commas. The order of the concatenated result string is by the order of the items as they appear in the list and not by the order of selection.
