## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{sel}, @var{ok}] =} listdlg (@var{key}, @var{value}, @dots{})
## Return user inputs from a list dialog box in a vector of
## selection indices @var{sel} and a flag @var{ok} indicating how the
## user closed the dialog box.  The value of @var{ok} is 1 if the user
## closed the box with the OK button, otherwise it is 0 and @var{sel} is
## empty.
##
## The indices in @var{sel} are 1-based.
##
## The arguments are specified in form of @var{key}, @var{value} pairs.
## The @qcode{"ListString"} argument pair must be specified.
##
## Valid @var{key} and @var{value} pairs are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"ListString"}
## a cell array of strings comprising the content of the list.
##
## @item @qcode{"SelectionMode"}
## can be either @qcode{"Single"} or @qcode{"Multiple"} (default).
##
## @item @qcode{"ListSize"}
## a vector with two elements @var{width} and @var{height} defining
## the size of the list field in pixels.  Default is [160 300].
##
## @item @qcode{"InitialValue"}
## a vector containing 1-based indices of preselected elements.  Default
## is 1 (first item).
##
## @item @qcode{"Name"}
## a string to be used as the dialog caption.  Default is "".
##
## @item @qcode{"PromptString"}
## a cell array of strings to be displayed above the list field.  Default
## is @{@}.
##
## @item @qcode{"OKString"}
## a string used to label the OK button.  Default is @qcode{"OK"}.
##
## @item @qcode{"CancelString"}
## a string used to label the Cancel button.  Default is @qcode{"Cancel"}.
## @end table
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## [sel, ok] = listdlg ("ListString", @{"An item", "another", "yet another"@},
##                      "SelectionMode", "Multiple");
## if (ok == 1)
##   for i = 1:numel (sel)
##     disp (sel(i));
##   endfor
## endif
## @end group
## @end example
