BaseCheckedListBoxControl.ItemCheck Event

Fires after an item’s check state changes.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public event ItemCheckEventHandler ItemCheck

Event Data

The ItemCheck event's data class is ItemCheckEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
Index Gets the index of the item whose state was changed.
State Gets the state of the item.

Remarks

The ItemCheck event fires when an item’s CheckState property is changed by the user or in code. To get the new check state, read the State argument. The Index event argument returns the processed item’s index. If items in the list box are filtered (see SearchControl), this argument returns the item’s index in the filtered list.

The ItemChecking event fires before the check state changes. The event allows you to cancel the action.

Example

The following example displays a message box after an item’s check state changes. The example prevents users from toggling the check state of the item with the specified name/description (“Item 0”).
