listbox's SelectedIndexChanged keep fire

[martin1]

Hi, All,

I want user select first item (called All) in listbox, then all other items
are selected by SetSelected method, but in loop (see code below) whenever
going to SetSelected(), the SelectedIndexChanged event keep fire and loop
doesn't go to next, finally the program stop at infinite loop.

Sub lstCem_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles lstCem.SelectedIndexChanged
If lstCem.GetSelected(0) = True Then
For i = 1 To (lstCem.Items.Count - 1)
lstCem.SetSelected(i, True)
Next
end if
End Sub

can anyone help thisout?
Thanks,
Marin

Hi,

Try something like this

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Static boolRunning As Boolean = False

If ListBox1.GetSelected(0) = True And Not boolRunning Then
boolRunning = True
For i As Integer = 1 To (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1)
ListBox1.SetSelected(i, True)
Next
boolRunning = False
End If

Using a static variable works as does a global. However, for general use,
you might try "RemoveHandler", do your thing, then "AddHandler". This will
prevent the event from firing while you "do your thing".

Hi, Dannis,

I tried addhander and one task (see below code) called toggle "all cems on"
works, but another 2 tasks: 1) ' toggle "all Cems" off , and 2) ' toggle "all
Cems" off if a cem is deselected, are not work. the task 1) is is if user
deselect first item called All Cems, then all other cem deselect, the task
2) is if any one but first one deselect, then the first one (called all cems)
is deselect. I think selectIndex logic may wrong but don't know how to fix
that. Any more advice? Thanks for your time.
