I'm making a program where I have to compare any 2 selected objects from a ListBox. This is what I'm trying to do:
object figure1 = lstFiguras.SelectedItem;
object figure2 = lstFiguras.SelectedItem;
What I want to happen is that the user highlights 2 seleccions from the ListBox. I want figure1 to be assigned the first selection, and figure2 to be assigned the second seleccion, but I can't seem to find a property or workaround that lets this happen. One ListBox only lets me use one SelectedItem. Is there a workaround of sorts I can use?
Image not related, aside from being a listbox.

Might help if you told us what language you were working with.

Of course, sorry, it's C#. Only language I've used. I assumed a Windows Form would have the same code for any language.

Have you tried this?
If you have, then you could try using somekind of Do{} While()

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well.
I already have it set so that multiple items can be selected from the ListBox. The problem is, after I highlight 2 different items, I want them assigned to different variables.
In your picture, for example, after selecting 1 and 4, I want 1 to be assigned to VariableOne, and the 4 to be assigned to VariableTwo.

The code should be something like this.

Well you can follow this code:

just add an array to save the values of the selected items in the listbox. Something like this.

And of course, add an exception to avoid the user to select more than 2 items from the listbox.

Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit, this did it. I've got an exam in 7 hours and you may have just saved the day. Thanks very much, anon. (And to the other anon, too!)
