Setting values in multiselect combobox

[Tomasz]

Hello.

I have multi selection combobox with checkboxes. Variable "options" has value: "Cat, Dog". Combobox has values: "Cat", "Dog", "Pig".  I want to check and select few values by using java script. I am not able to select few values at ones. This code only select "Dog".

function setValuesInCombobox(options) {
   var controler =$find(getClientIdById(cboBuildingControlName));
   controler.set_value(options);
   controler.set_text(options);
   var allChoicesFromCbo = controler.get_items()._array;
   var selectedOptions =  options.split(",");

   for(i = 0; i < selectedOptions.length; i++) {
     var building = selectedOptions[i].trim();
     for(j = 0; j < allChoicesFromCbo.length; j++) {
       var nameOfBuildingInCbo = allChoicesFromCbo[j]._properties._data.value;
       if( nameOfBuildingInCbo == building) {
         allChoicesFromCbo[j]._setChecked(true);
         allChoicesFromCbo[j].select();
       }
     }
   }
 }
