Checkbox Selected Index is selected


I have a simple IF statement in my code that i want to prompt the user if the item in index 2 of my checkedlistbox1 is selected.

It works when index 2 by itself is selected BUT does not work when other items including index 2 are checked in my checklist box. Below is what i have that works, now i just need it to work when 2 and others are selected.

if (checkedListBox1.SelectedIndex == 2)
{
   MessageBox.Show("Note to send email", "Note", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}

Solution

  • You can use CheckedListBox.CheckedIndices instead.

    Collection of checked indexes in this CheckedListBox.

    foreach(int index in checkedListBox1.CheckedIndices)
    {
      if(index == 2)
      {
         MessageBox.Show("Note to send email", "Note", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
      }
    }
