Question

System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox has two different events that the programmer can handle:

• SelectionChangeCommitted – event fires only when the user changes the selected item
• SelectedIndexChanged – event is also raised when the selection changes programmatically

Is there something similar for System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox?

Clarification:
I’m looking for an event to handle that won’t be fired when I programmatically set the checkbox by calling a statement like CheckBox.Checked = true.

Answer 1

Just handle the Click event. Any time a checkbox is clicked, it will be toggled.

    private void checkBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (((CheckBox)sender).Checked)
        {
            // do stuff
        }
    }
