Event Type

Examples

The following code example demonstrates a checked ListView control that handles the ItemCheck event. The method uses the ItemCheckEventArgs.CurrentValue and ItemCheckEventArgs.Index properties to retrieve and tally the price of the menu items selected. To run this example, paste the following code into a form containing a ListView named ListView1 and a TextBox named Textbox1. Call the InitializeListView method from the form's constructor or Load method. Ensure that the ItemCheck event is associated with the event handler in this example.

Remarks

The CheckBoxes property must be set to true in order for check boxes to be displayed next to each item in the ListView control. The ItemCheck event occurs when the check state of an item changes or when the CheckBoxes property is set to true. You can create an event handler for the ItemCheck event to perform tasks such as changing the state of an item's icon or another application-specific task each time an item is checked in the ListView control.

For more information about handling events, see Handling and Raising Events.
