vb.net - Get the text from a check box list -

i have check box list in winform.

if check box list selected want value passed string:

for integer = 0 cbxlstpancakes.items.count - 1     if cbxlstpancakes.getitemchecked(i)          dim currentpancake string = cbxlstpancakes.selecteditem.tostring      else         'do if not checked.     end if next 

now i'm confused if you're using strings vs. bound datasource. datasource, give 1 of these try.

if care checked items, it's little easier:

    '=== if care checked items (assuming used databound control)     each dr datarowview in cbxlstpancakes.checkeditems         dim currentpancake string = dr.item(0)   '--> todo:  correct column datasource         messagebox.show(currentpancake)     next 

if care both checked , unchecked items, should able access them way (should work either bound or unbound):

    '=== if care both checked , unchecked items     integer = 0 cbxlstpancakes.items.count - 1         if cbxlstpancakes.getitemchecked(i)             messagebox.show(cbxlstpancakes.getitemtext(cbxlstpancakes.items(i)))         else             'do if they're not checked         end if     next 

i'm not sure why checkedlistbox implemented little differently other controls (with .getxxxxx() methods, etc.). seems work me!
