How to: Handle the Checked Event for the CheckBox Control

Silverlight

When a user clicks a CheckBox control, one of three events can occur, depending on the current state of the CheckBox. Either the Checked, Unchecked or Indeterminate event occurs. You can handle these events and perform some action depending on the state of the check box.

Example

The following code demonstrates how to handle the Checked and Indeterminate events.

Copy


private void HandleCheck(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CheckBox cb = sender as CheckBox;
    if (cb.Name == "cb1")
        text1.Text = "Two state CheckBox checked.";
    else
        text2.Text = "Three state CheckBox checked.";
}

private void HandleUnchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CheckBox cb = sender as CheckBox;
    if (cb.Name == "cb1")
        text1.Text = "Two state CheckBox unchecked.";
    else
        text2.Text = "Three state CheckBox unchecked.";
}

private void HandleThirdState(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CheckBox cb = sender as CheckBox;
    text2.Text = "Three state CheckBox indeterminate.";
}

XAML

Copy


<!-- two state CheckBox -->
<CheckBox x:Name="cb1" Content="Two State CheckBox" 
          Checked="HandleCheck" Unchecked="HandleUnchecked" Margin="5" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text1" Margin="5" />

<!-- three state CheckBox -->
<CheckBox x:Name="cb2" Content="Three State CheckBox" 
    IsThreeState="True" Checked="HandleCheck" 
    Indeterminate="HandleThirdState" Unchecked="HandleUnchecked" Margin="5" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text2" Margin="5" />
