Listbox Items Colour - Two Types Of Items Populating In A Listbox (checked Listbox)
Apr 28, 2009
I am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.
Why is this code having the opposite effect? If It's checked in the checkedlistbox it's not check in my view, if it's not check in my checkedlistbox it is checked in the grid.
EDIT: More specifically. The CheckState.Checked is always the opposite. .Checked means it's not checked.
Private Sub CheckedListBox1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.ItemCheck Try
I am reading information on missed deadlines from a database. For each missed deadline I add a item to the checked listbox and store the deadline's information in an array. I now want to disiplay all the selected (in the checkedlistbox) deadlines' information in another control, but at the moment I am getting an error. This is the code I am currently using to check which items have been selected
Dim x as integer For x = o to array.count - 1 do If checkedlistbox.GetItemChecked(x) = true do 'Here I am displaying array.item(x)'s information in the other control end if next
1) Say I have five items in the checked list box and I select all five items, when it gets to x= 3 it gives me the following error "ARGUMENT OUT OF RANGE EXCEPTION was unhandled: InvalidArgument=Value of '3' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index" 2) Say I have five items in the checked list box and I select ONLY the first two items, when it gets to x=4 it gives me the same error as above only for the number 4.
I have tried the methods/functions GetItemCheckedState, SelectedIndices and GetSelected as well, but they all give the same or similar errors. According to me the index cannot be out of range as I have five items in the checkedlistbox as well as the array.
I've got a checked listbox on my form which saves the checked items to a spot in my database on the .ItemCheck event.But there's a problem, when I begin checking items, I check the box and click off it, but it doesn't save. (This is if I've only chosen one item)
If I choose two or more items it will save, but unchecking them takes a lot of clicking around to figure it out.Is there a better event that I can use? I've tried the SelectedIndexChanged and that has the same result, there's a lot of clicking around in the checkboxes to end up with the desired selected items, and it does not allow a single item.
Should: take items and fill checked list box with possible tours that the company can receive (this is done and working) i.e. for 2012, Titleist gets X, Y, and Z; so there are two checked listboxes for 2012: lvl 1 and lvl 2, username specific Both have lists "X, Y, Z" in that order, lvl 1 and 2 is for the permissions level, 1 is lvl 1 and 2 is alex's 0 marking for full details code goes through and checks if lvl 1 is marked, if so it checks the tour in the lvl1 check box if zero is marked, finds the tour in lvl 2 and lvl 1 and checks both items if a tour exists for company but not for the user, the checkbox exists but neither is checked
I am trying to display multiple check items from a listbox into a label seperated by a comma. Everything is working fine but the only problem is that when i check first item in the listbox nothing happens and when i check the second item then the label shows the first item. Then when i click third item the label shows the first and the second item and so on. When i uncheck the item it does the same
My question is why it does not show the items in the label as they are selected.

probs a simple answer but my mind is blank atm. I have this code to move all items from listbox3 to listbox1 but it wont move them unless i select 1, then it moves all items.
I am using the below code to find all the items in a listbox using vb.net 2005. But how can remove the non searched items from the listbox after searching?
i have a list of items in a listbox and i want to move all of them into another listbox. I'm using a loop to do this but it always generates an exception anytime the loop's counter equals 2. Currently there are only three items in the former listbox. The first and last items are moved correctly except the second.[code]
i want to have 2 listbox. the first listbox is for the Main category and the other one is for the sub category. and by using sql 2005 for the database.
for example my main category for the 1st listbox is ADIDAS CONVERSE NIKE SKETCHERS
and when i click one of the main categories it will output the sub categories to the 2nd listbox.
I'm making an application that does some stuff involving the given subject, so this is very crucial to the completion and efficiency of my application.What I'm in need of today is simple (well, "seems" simple). I have one listbox that I want to populate with directories file's names. I don't mean the files inside the directories, but the names of the folders inside the directory.So, I have "c:empdog", I'd click on my button or whatever and search for the directory and I choose "temp", said listbox would show "dog".
UPDATE: Oh, BTW. It doesn't HAVE to be a listbox, it can be anything (IE: Textbox, Labels, Etc.).
If I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:
a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).
b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.
Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?
