Examples

The following code example demonstrates a checked ListView that handles the ItemChecked event. The example uses the CheckedItems property to tally a new price every time that an item is checked or unchecked. To run this example, paste the following code into a form that contains a ListView named ListView1 and a TextBox named Textbox1. Call the InitializeListView method from the form's constructor or Load method.

Remarks

This property is only useful when the CheckBoxes property of the ListView control is set to true. The CheckedItems property returns a collection that contains all items that are checked in the control. For more information about how to manipulate the items in the collection, see ListView.CheckedListViewItemCollection.

If you want to obtain a collection of the index positions within the ListView.ListViewItemCollection of the items that are checked in the ListView control, instead of the items that are checked, use the CheckedIndices property.
