CheckBoxList SelectIndexChanged Problem

Fred Odman

Hi everyone!

I am useless at this and I hope one of you smart guys can help me with this. I have a checkboxlist and I want all the boxes to be deselected when one particular box is checked and that particular box to be deselected when any of the other boxes are checked. Any good advice on how to accomplish this.

Thank you.

Fred

There are probably better ways to do it but this is my situation and why I don't want to use radiobuttons. One of the boxes says "None" which means that there should not be any other boxes selected while this one is checked. If any of the other boxes are checked in any combination the "None" box should not be selected. In short, I want multiple selections available for all the boxes except one.

Thank you for looking at it.

Speaking from a UI design perspective...

If only one selection is valid, then you should be using radio buttons, not checkboxes. A list of checkboxes implies that none, one or many choices are valid. A list of radio buttons implies that only one selection is valid.
