Query for possible values for Picklist or Multiple picklist

I would like to query the possible values for a picklist to put up a mutli-select field on my page.  Is there a way to query for the possible values for a simple picklist?

 

Also, I'd like to do the same for a multi-select picklist.  I know this was asked before and it wasn't possible in the past.  Is there any way to do it now?

Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = OpportunityLineItem.UpgradeCode__c.getDescribe();
List<Schema.PicklistEntry> picklistEntries = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();


List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();

for (Schema.PicklistEntry entry : picklistEntries)
       options.add(new SelectOption(entry.getLabel(), entry.getValue()));
