Checkbox Array?

[Smee]

I reguarly use buttons with one routine and depending on the button pressed perform an action

for eg

Sub btnAction_Click
   Dim btn As Button ' use to find which button sent us here
   btn = Sender ' this sent us here
   BtnVal=btn.Tag
   
   Select BtnVal
   Case 0
           Case 1
           .........
           .........
           .........
           End Select

Is there a way to do similar with checkboxes?

I want to test if a checkbox is checked or not and to be able to programatically select or unselect individual boxes but all within the one code module.

Thanks for some great software Erel.

It's exactly the same, just replace Button by CheckBox:

Sub cbxSelection_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)
    Dim cbx As CheckBox ' used to find which CheckBox raised the event
    cbx = Sender 
    
    Select cbx.Tag
    Case 0
    Case 1
    .........
    .........
    .........
    End Select

This valid for all types of views.

Best regards.

Thankyou Klaus,

But how do i programatically select or unselect individual boxes?

To do this you need to define an Array of the CheckBoxes.
Then you can programaticaly get or set the checked property.
CheckBoxes(0).Checked = False

Have a look at chapter 10.3.3 in the Beginner's Guide.
The example shown is with Buttons but the same can be done with CheckBoxes.

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus,

I Did that but when i select the checkbox with the code statement

rbDays(0).Checked=True

The checkbox status changes but the CheckedChange event does not fire

if i press the checkbox manually it does fire

:BangHead:

Modifying the Checked property of a CheckBox in the code doesn't raise the CheckedChange event.
There is no difference if they are in an array or single ones.
The event is only raised when the user does change it.

Hi Klaus, I've tried with toggle button, but the event checked seems to raised also from code.

It's possible?

thank you

The toggle button will raise the event from code while the checkbox will not
