dependant checkboxlist in c# madness

Nabeeha Deedar

I have been working on dependant checkboxlists and its a total madness both in c# and vb.net 2013.

I cannot find a property or a method to check whether an item inside a checkboxlist is checked or unchecked.

How can i simply perform the detection?

Suppose i have six checkboxlists and every item in the second / third .... six checkboxlist is dependent on the preceeding element.

I want to add/remove elements in 2nd, 3rd ..... 6th checkboxlist when the user checks or unchecks a particular item inside a checkboxlist.

Example: Product, Color, Size...

Any example link in vb.net or c# would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

This is how you get / set checked state for checked list box but remember that if you add or remove items while checking the state of each item index the item count will change and invalidate the for loop so it would be a good idea to make changes to a new list box then assign the values of the new list box to the list box you are checking.

for (int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i) == true)
{
checkedListBox1.SetItemChecked(i, false);
}
else
{
checkedListBox1.SetItemChecked(i, true);
}
}

This is a guide only, make it work for you the way you want it to.

Tried no fruit Can anyone tell me how to detect if an item inside a checkedListBox is uncheck??? If check then how to know in code that its checked and its value is "AnyValue" that can be further compared as a String.
