CheckedListBox Questoin

[Jerry Spence1]

I am trying to capture when an item in the CheckedListBox occurs.

I am using the event:
CheckedListBox1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox.ItemCheck

However, this fires before the item is actually checked. So to get over this
problem I tried:

If e.CurrentValue = CheckState.Unchecked Then

e.NewValue = CheckState.Checked

Else

e.NewValue = CheckState.UnChecked

End If

However, setting the e.NewValue doesn't actually seem to change the checked
state (I'm not really sure what it does do!)

I then tried:

If e.CurrentValue = CheckState.Unchecked Then

CheckedListBox.Checked(e.Index,True)

Else

CheckedListBox.SetItemChecked(e.Index, False)

End If

However, this obviously then fires the event again and the who thing goes
into loop.

Does anyone know a way round this?

The ItemCheckEventArgs contains both the 'before' and 'after' states of the
CheckBox. You do not need to set the state of the CheckBox.

If e.NewValue = CheckState.Checked
' The new CheckState is Checked - add code to react.
Else
' The new CheckState is Unchecked - add code to react.
End If

Say it is in the Unckecked state. You then click on it to put it into the
checked state, and the event is fired. As far the as the event is concerned,
it is still unckecked. It doesn't visibly become checked until after the
event has completed.
