Programmatically select value in a list box

I want to rearrange elements in a list box of a block mask in a

function moveDown(maskObj, controlName)

The rearrangement basically works as desired, however I am struggling with updating the selection after rearrangement.

When using

controlHandle = maskObj.getDialogControl(controlName);

selectedItems = controlHandle.getSelectedItems;

then rearranging the entries with

controlHandle.TypeOptions = rearrangedItems;

setting the same set of selected entries as before with

controlHandle.setSelectedItems = selectedItems;

fails with

% Error: Assignment not supported becuase the result of method

% 'setSelectedItems' is a temporary value

How can I update the selected items in the list box properly?

Thanks for your support.
