I have a listbox in an edititemtemplate but can't get the listbox to work. It's there, I can see it, but the scrollbar doesn't work and the selected item isn't selected (it's fed the selected items through a property in a web usercontrol).

The same usercontrol work fine when not in edit mode

Here is the usercontrol:
================================
    Public theselectedItems As String

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        'selectedItems = "020,009"
        bindList(theselectedItems)
    End Sub

    Sub bindList(ByVal phred As String)
        Dim ds As DataSet
        Dim sqlStr As String = "select whatever from wherever"
        ds = New DataSet
        Dim dr As DataRow
        sqlDA = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlStr, sqlConn)
        sqlDA.Fill(ds, "departments")
        lst.DataSource = ds
        lst.DataBind()
        Dim aArr As Array
        lst.Enabled = True
        aArr = Split(Trim(phred), ",")
        Dim x As Integer = 0, y As Integer = 0
        For Each dr In ds.Tables(0).Rows
            For x = 0 To UBound(aArr)
                If CStr(Trim(aArr(x))) = dr(0) Then
                    lst.Items(y).Selected = True
                End If
            Next
            'lst.Items(y).Selected = True
            y += 1
        Next
        lst.Items.Insert(0, "ALL")
    End Sub
========================================

here is the html:
========================================
    <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Department(s)">
    <HeaderStyle Wrap="False"></HeaderStyle>
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:label Runat="server" text='<%# trim(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.departmentSecurity")) %>'>
    </asp:label>
    <uc1:deptListBox theselectedItems='<%#trim(databinder.eval(Containe r, "dataitem.departmentsecurity"))%>' id="DeptListBox1" runat="server"></uc1:deptListBox>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
    <uc1:deptListBox theselectedItems='<%#trim(databinder.eval(Containe r, "dataitem.departmentsecurity"))%>' id="Deptlistbox2" runat="server"></uc1:deptListBox>
    <asp:ListBox Font-Names="verdana, arial" Font-size="10px" ID=deptList Runat=server DataTextField="departmentName" DataValueField="deptNum" Selectionmode=multiple DataSource='<%#buildDeptList(trim(databinder.eval( Container, "dataitem.departmentsecurity")))%>' Enabled="true">
    </asp:ListBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateColumn>
==============================================
