How to work with CheckedListBox in VB.NET

A visual basic CheclListBox control is a combination of a ListBox and a CheckBox. It displays a ListBox with a CheckBox towards its left. The CheckListBox class is derived from the ListBox class and is based on that class. Since the CheckListBox is derived from ListBox it shares all the members of ListBox. CheckedListBox can have items added using the string collection editor or items can add dynamically from a collection at RunTime, Using the Item property.


Notable Properties of CheckListBox
