CheckedListBox.ItemCheck Event
The check state is not updated until after the ItemCheck event occurs.
To run some codes after the item checked, you should use a workaround.
Best Option
You can use this option (Thanks to Hans Passant for this post):
private void checkedListBox1_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
{
this.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
{
//Do the after check tasks here
}));
}
Another option
If in middle of ItemCheck Event, you need to know state of item, you should use e.NewValue
instead of using checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i)
If you need to pass a list of checked indices to a method do this:
Using the code:
var checkedIndices = this.checkedListBox1.CheckedIndices.Cast<int>().ToList();
if (e.NewValue == CheckState.Checked)
checkedIndices.Add(e.Index);
else
if(checkedIndices.Contains(e.Index))
checkedIndices.Remove(e.Index);
//now you can do what you need to checkedIndices
//Here if after check but you should use the local variable checkedIndices
//to find checked indices
Another Option
In middle of ItemCheck event, remove handler of ItemCheck, SetItemCheckState and then add handler egain.
private void checkedListBox1_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
{
var control = (CheckedListBox)sender;
// Remove handler
control.ItemCheck -= checkedListBox_ItemCheck;
control.SetItemCheckState(e.Index, e.NewValue);
// Add handler again
control.ItemCheck += checkedListBox_ItemCheck;
//Here is After Check, do additional stuff here
}
Try searching more for answers, cause here it is
private void clbOrg_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
{
CheckedListBox clb = (CheckedListBox)sender;
// Switch off event handler
clb.ItemCheck -= clbOrg_ItemCheck;
clb.SetItemCheckState(e.Index, e.NewValue);
// Switch on event handler
clb.ItemCheck += clbOrg_ItemCheck;
// Now you can go further
CallExternalRoutine();
}
And the link: Which CheckedListBox event triggers after a item is checked?
You can hook up an event on ItemCheck. You can do it by right clicking your checkboxlist and select properties. And at the right side you will see the property tab, click the event tab button and locate ItemCheck event and double click it. It will generate a event method for you depend on your checkboxlist name like below.
Then, you can verify selected/checked checkbox using code below.
private void checkedListBox1_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
{
var checkBoxName = checkedListBox1.Items[e.Index];
Console.WriteLine("Current {0}, New {1} , value {2}", e.CurrentValue, e.NewValue, checkBoxName);
}
