Dynamic Visualforce SelectList Component Help!

I am coding dynamic visual force components in my controller and have had success rendering the Inputfield component and SelectList compnent where the Multi-Select Attribute is False however having trouble when the attribute is set to true.

 

Here is the controller code and page code snippet:  Red text shows the error I am receiving.

 

Thanks in advance for your help

 

  for(Service_Task_STQ_Joiner__c STQ: STQList){
        
                STRRList.add(new Service_Task_Request_Response__c());


    // Picklist field code block
                        
                        if(STQ.Service_Task_Request_Questionnaire__r.Type__c == 'Picklist (Multi-Select)'){
                                 
                                 Component.Apex.SelectList STQPicklist = new Component.Apex.SelectList();
                                 
                                 List<String> STQPicklistValues =         STQ.Service_Task_Request_Questionnaire__r.Values__c.Split(':',0);
                                 
STQPicklist.Multiselect = True; /* ERROR when I load VF page: System.VisualforceException: Invalid value for property multiselect: Attribute multiselect for component <apex:selectList> cannot be changed after the component has been created */
//If STQPicklist.Multiselect = False; renders fine, however I need Multi-Select option

                                  }
                        } 

 

 <apex:page showheader="false" controller="CusReqController" action="{!ServiceTaskQuestionnairePageLoad}">
   
 
   <apex:form >

   
   <apex:dynamicComponent componentValue="{!DynamicForm}"/>  
    

    </apex:form>

   
</apex:page>

Try passing it into the constructor:

 

Component.Apex.SelectList STQPicklist = new Component.Apex.SelectList(multiselect=true);
