[RESOLVED] CheckBox Error

[Ritzky]

Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckChanged

If TextBox1.Text = "Default" Then
            MessageBox.Show("Default")
            CheckBox1.Checked = False
        Else
MsgBox("Not Default")
End If
End Sub

by default, the checkbox is not checked. now when i click the checkbox, I want it to do the above code.

if the box says "default", i want it to msgbox default, and then uncheck the check box. (it is automatically checked after i click it)

problem is, the msgbox pops up twice. any help.

That's because when CheckBox1.Checked = False i ran it activates the event CheckChanged again.
Try MouseClick Event..

If you only want to execute some code when the CheckBox is checked, shouldn't you have some code in their to test whether it is checked or unchecked? That event is raised in both cases, so if you want to differentiate between the two you must do so with your own code.
