[RESOLVED] [02/03] CheckedListbox Question

[jeffnyc]

I add items to a checkedListbox from a file as such:

 While Not myInputString Is Nothing
                currentFields = Split(myInputString, ",")
                If currentFields(1) = "0" Then
                    lstApts.Items.Add(currentFields(0))

                Else
                    lstApts.Items.Add(currentFields(0))
                '  I WANT TO CHECK THE ITEM THATS IN THIS ELSE CLAUSE
                End If
                rowCount += 1
                ' Read the next line.
                myInputString = myStreamReader.ReadLine()
            End While

As I am adding the item to the checkedListbox I want to set its property to checked if it is in the "Else" clause above. My issue is that once I add the item how do I refer to the item I just added in order to set its property without having to iterate through the whole box?

After you add an Item to the checked list box do this...

CheckedListBox1.Item(checkedlistbox1.items.count -1).checked = true

thanks.... i just found a simpler solution - the add method can be overloaded to take a second parameter - true or false

lstApts.Items.Add(currentFields(0), True)
