You can also use this property to determine which items are currently selected in the ListBox. If the SelectionMode property of the ListBox is set to SelectionMode.MultiExtended, this property returns the text of the first selected item. If the SelectionMode property of the ListBox is not set to SelectionMode.None, this property returns the text of the first selected item.

Listbox
I see there are 3 selection modes :  none, simple and multiextended.  I'm trying to put multiple items from the listobx but it only recognizes the first line or only one line that is selected.  For example, if I highlighted 40 items in the listbox it still only prints the first one selected.  I tried using in my code
Listbox1.Text.All but it gives me an error:

Argument not specified for the parameter 'predicate' of extension method 'Public function All(predicate as System.Func(of Char.Boolean)) As Boolean' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerabl'.

Any thoughts?
