CheckedListBox::CheckedItemCollection Class
Encapsulates the collection of checked items, including items in an indeterminate state, in a CheckedListBox control.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The CheckedListBox::CheckedItemCollection type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Count | Gets the number of items in the collection. |
![]() | IsReadOnly | Gets a value indicating if the collection is read-only. |
![]() | Item | Gets an object in the checked items collection. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Contains | Determines whether the specified item is located in the collection. |
![]() | CopyTo | Copies the entire collection into an existing array at a specified location within the array. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetEnumerator | Returns an enumerator that can be used to iterate through the CheckedItems collection. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IndexOf | Returns an index into the collection of checked items. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AsParallel | Enables parallelization of a query. (Defined by ParallelEnumerable.) |
![]() | AsQueryable | Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. (Defined by Queryable.) |
![]() | Cast<TResult> | Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
![]() | OfType<TResult> | Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | ICollection::IsSynchronized | For a description of this member, see ICollection::IsSynchronized. |
![]() ![]() | ICollection::SyncRoot | For a description of this member, see ICollection::SyncRoot. |
![]() ![]() | IList::Add | For a description of this member, see IList::Add. |
![]() ![]() | IList::Clear | For a description of this member, see IList::Clear. |
![]() ![]() | IList::Insert | For a description of this member, see Insert. |
![]() ![]() | IList::IsFixedSize | For a description of this member, see IList::IsFixedSize. |
![]() ![]() | IList::Remove | For a description of this member, see Remove. |
![]() ![]() | IList::RemoveAt | For a description of this member, see RemoveAt. |
The checked items collection is a subset of all items in the CheckedListBox control; it contains only those items that are in a checked or indeterminate state.
The following table is an example of the indexed collection of items in the control (all items contained in the control).
Index | Item | Check State |
|---|---|---|
0 | object 1 | |
1 | object 2 | |
2 | object 3 | |
3 | object 4 | |
4 | object 5 |
Based on the previous example, the following table shows the indexed collection of the checked items.
Index | Item |
|---|---|
0 | object 2 |
1 | object 4 |
2 | object 5 |
The CheckedListBox class has two members that allow you to access the stored indexes, the Item property and the IndexOf method.
Based on the previous example, a call to the Item property with a parameter value of 1 returns object 4. A call to IndexOf with a parameter of object 4 returns a value of 1.
The following example enumerates the checked items in the CheckedListBox::CheckedIndexCollection to see what check state an item is in. The example demonstrates using the GetItemCheckState method to set the check state of an item. The example also demonstrates using the CheckedIndices property to get the CheckedListBox::CheckedIndexCollection, and the CheckedItems property to get the CheckedListBox::CheckedItemCollection.
The first loop uses the GetItemCheckState method to get the CheckState of each checked item, given the index of the item. The second loop also uses GetItemCheckState, but uses the ListBox::ObjectCollection::IndexOf method to retrieve the index for the item.
void WhatIsChecked_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { // Display in a message box all the items that are checked. // First show the index and check state of all selected items. IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = checkedListBox1->CheckedIndices->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() ) { Int32 indexChecked = *safe_cast<Int32^>(myEnum1->Current); // The indexChecked variable contains the index of the item. MessageBox::Show( String::Concat( "Index#: ", indexChecked, ", is checked. Checked state is: ", checkedListBox1->GetItemCheckState( indexChecked ), "." ) ); } // Next show the Object* title and check state for each item selected. IEnumerator^ myEnum2 = checkedListBox1->CheckedItems->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum2->MoveNext() ) { Object^ itemChecked = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum2->Current); // Use the IndexOf method to get the index of an item. MessageBox::Show( String::Concat( "Item with title: \"", itemChecked, "\", is checked. Checked state is: ", checkedListBox1->GetItemCheckState( checkedListBox1->Items->IndexOf( itemChecked ) ), "." ) ); } }
