labels:
You may input the label items showing in the list here. Double click the box besides label, then it appears dialog Values, of which is the same as data, for your setting.

multipleSelection:
You may set your list to be the one that users can make either single or multiple selections. The default value is “false”, which means the list allows users make single selection. You may click the arrow and select “true” from the pop up list, then your list will allow users make multiple selections.
rowHeight:
Here you may set the height, in pixels, of each row. The default value is 20. Setting a font does not change the height of a row.

You may edit the color of the component. Choose the color in the color box or customize one.
