How to select items thru the check boxes in Simplelist

[binhpham]

HI MikeLewis.
Thanks for your answer,I know u answered me( I got email from tek-tips notify me you answered me).Unfortunately,I wasn't able to read your answer due to technical problem from the tek-tips site.
Here is the question again:
Using your simplelist with checkbox, how to select the item in the list by clcik the checkbox?
Thanks

No problem.

You need to write code in the ItemCheck event. This is an event of the contained oleList control. The event is fired whenever the user toggles the checkbox.

Your code can call the SimpleList's SelectItem method, which is how you programmatically highlight an item.

If you need any more details, just ask.

Binhpham,

I haven't tested this code, so it might not work exactly, but it should give you a start.

You write this code in the ItemCheck event. Remember, that's an event of the oleList control, not the SimpleList.

DODEFAULT(item)

this.parent.SelectItem(item.index)

Hope this helps.

Mike
