Set_Property sets the active cell for an edit table, or selects the row(s) for combo and list boxes. For a multiple-selection list box, the current selection list is toggled with the list that is passed.

Note: If an edit table is protected the column position returned will be 1. Use NOTIFYPOS to determine which cell was selected.
