GuiGridListGetSelectedItems

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function returns the items selected in the specified grid list.

Note that for some reason the column ID is 1 lower than it should be, for example 0 is returned but if you try and get the text for column 0 there is nothing, but column 1 has what you clicked on.

Syntax

table guiGridListGetSelectedItems ( element gridList )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
