Question

I have a check box in WinForms, when checked I would like it to set a string e.g.:

string CheckBox = true

Edit: Or would this be a better example:

bool checkbox = true;

So when a method is run it will lookup the string and dependent on it’s value with perform a a submethod…

So the question is really how do you set a string on a CheckBox when it is clicked, I have checked the Actions list and the closest is “CheckChanged”, but obviously it won’t work.

Answer 1

Why would CheckChanged not work?

bool checkbox = false;
private void CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) {

   if (CheckBox1.Checked)
   {
      checkbox = true;
   }
}

Or just use CheckBox1.Checked in your subroutine.
