Pocket PC List Selection Event [message #444639]

I have a List widget that allows multi-select. I want to listen to each
SelectionEvent and do a validation. I am not clear as to which field in
the SelectionEvent tells me which "item" in my list was just selected. (in
other words, how do I know which selectable "item" in my List widget
caused this SelectionEvent?)

From the api docs it seems to say the "item" field (which is a Widget) of
the SelectionEvent is the selected "item". But this does not make sense
since all "items" in the List are java.lang.String.

I must be mising something simple?

See List.getFocusIndex().
