Hi, Simon
The problem seems to be setting the Sorted property to True. The following
works for me:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
clbWaves.BeginUpdate()
clbWaves.Sorted = False
clbWaves.Items.Clear()
clbWaves.Items.Add("Hello", True)
clbWaves.Sorted = True
clbWaves.EndUpdate()
End Sub
As to >why< Sorted causes problems, that will take some research. I will
let you know what I find out.
Thank you for choosing the MSDN Managed Newsgroups,

| Thanks for your help,
|
| I've created a new form, and copied the problem code across. I've
stripped
| out all my events etc leaving just a simple button click event to add
items
| to the checked list box. It still doesn't work. I've compared a working
form
| with the unworking one and cant see anything that would cause this
problem.
|
| I've attached the project - two forms inside, Form1 (not working) and
| WorkingForm.
|
| Please let me know if you find anything thats wrong with this form.
|
