Question

I am using the winform datarepeater control from vb.net power pack.

All of the items on the repeater are readonly except for a checkbox column.

I want to iterate over the items and find out which checkboxes are checked.

I can’t find a collection of datarepeateritems on the control and help is scarce.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

You could iterate through the Controls list (generated from template)

1. Rename your checkbox in the datarepeater to “checkBoxUnbound”

2. Use the below code

   private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       int i = 0;
       CheckBox unboundCheckBox;
       foreach (Control c in dataRepeater1.Controls)
       {
           unboundCheckBox = c.Controls["checkBoxUnbound"] as CheckBox;
           if (unboundCheckBox != null && unboundCheckBox.Checked)
           {
               i++;
           }
       }
   
       Console.WriteLine("DEBUG: checked found: " + i);
   
   }
