becomes multi-valued; that is, more than one item may simultaneously be
selected.
In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the
given menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect it (second argument
FALSE).

- E_OK
-
The routine succeeded.
- E_SYSTEM_ERROR
-
System error occurred (see errno).
- E_REQUEST_DENIED
-
