Help with retrieving text from a Check List Box -> Resolved

[RudyL]

I am using a checked list box but for some reason I can not ficure out how to retrieve the text from a specific index...

I tried this

clbModels.GetItemText(1)

but all I get is the index back... Any ideas?

try

CheckedListBox1.Items(x).ToString()

x being the index

[RudyL]

try

CheckedListBox1.Items(x).ToString()

x being the index

Thanks.. That works beautifuly..

So what exaclt is "GetItemText" for? According to the object browser it should do the same thing..
"Summary:
Returns the text representation of the specified item.

Parameters:
item: The object from which to get the contents to display. "

object browser = poo
msdn = yay

basically it does the same exact thing... BUT if you look at the help file on MSDN, the param you pass to the GetItemText method is not the index... its the object itself...

item
The object from which to get the contents to display.

so it makes sense that you pass the object "1" to it, that it spits it right back at you, because its simply calling ToString on "1", which gives you.. well.. "1"

so if you have the OBJECT in question (since listboxes can hold objects, not just text, but can only display the ToString of the objects they hold) using the method I gave is simply the easiest way to go about it

Sounds good to me..

Thanks again,
