Provide list of selected values to ListBoxComponent

It would be great if the <kendo-listbox> had the possibility to take in a list of selected values, which causes the matching items to be selected.

Currently, the only option I see is to inject the ListBoxComponent as viewChild, and call .select manually, which is quite cumbersome.

Suggestion:

- additionally to the "textField", provide a "valueField" property

- also add a "selectedValues" property, which takes in an array / signal of value properties, which then are automatically selected, whenever its value changes.

Hi Felix,

An additional input property to define the selected items is a valid request. The team will track demand for this feature and consider it for future implementation.
