Does this help?

 private void checkedListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (checkedListBox1.GetItemCheckState(0) == CheckState.Checked)
            {
                checkedListBox2.SetItemChecked(0, true);

            }
            else
            {
                checkedListBox2.SetItemChecked(0, false);
            }

Hello Aminit,

Just a thought... have you considered using a binary value to represent each group ?
Set the Tag value for each checkbox with a hex value. Have a method OR the hex values for each checkbox (method will iterate through all checkboxes in a group) resulting in a single value for each group.

Hint: if you have each checkbox group contained in a panel or groupbox it makes it easier to iterate all checkboxes in that container rather than filter on all checkboxes on the form.


Once you have a single binary value for each checkbox group. You can (AND) the value with the other group(s) to see which combinations are checked as a single value.

If you have some known conditions (like that one which creates an error message), then you can AND that condition (as a binary value) to the checkbox group binary values.

Its just a matter of math.

If this sounds confusing, consider it this way. If you can represent Group A as a single value, then you can use simple boolean operators to compare against specific conditions you want to check.
