Make listbox selection choose multiple listboxes c#

another problem, this one I don't think is as simple as a double like it was last time.

I'm making a listbox that I only want the user to be able to select one option from, and for it change the 'selected state' of the other 2 that are right next to it on the form. The problem is, I can't figure out how to pull whats been selected in the first list box.

I've tried using 

private void workshopSelect_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 1; i != 5; i++) {
        if (workshopSelect.GetSelected == i){
            NoDBox.SetSelected(i, true);
            feeBox.SetSelected(i, true);
        }
    }
}

but the workshopselect.getselected has red squigglies. It says that the == operator cannot be used, and that it "Returns a value indicating whether the specified item is selected" I tried using (workshopSelect.GetSelected[i])that didn't work, tried using (workshopSelect.GetSelected(i)) that didn't work either.

The program should look like this when I select one of the Workshop lines program end result

So my question really is, just what exactly do I use to check the box for what line has been selected?

The reason my if (workshopSelect.GetSelected(i)) did not work was because well.. I forgot one simple thing, figuring since it said that the == operator was not allowed (which it is). It was because I had to type it out like this if (workshopSelect.GetSelected(i) == true) once I changed that, it did exactly what I wanted it to do.

You should use SelectedItem property instead of GetSelected to get selected item. Or SelectedIndex to get index.

if (listbox1.SelectedItem.ToString () == "Supervision skill") 
...

if (listbox1.SelectedIndex == 1) ...
