checkedListBox1 (Select)

[Jennifer84]

I have a checkedListBox1 wich consist of a many lines with text.
What I am trying to do is to search trough this checkedListBox1 to see
if "Hello" could be found in this box and if it is found, this Item(Line) will
be selected.
I am not sure what could be wrong/missing with this code. ?

for( int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1->Text->Length; i++)
{
	
      if(checkedListBox1->Text->IndexOf(i).ToString() == "Hello")
     {
	checkedListBox1->Select();
     }

}

Maybe Lenght+1? What compiler system do you use?

Edward doesn't understand how this is supposed to search the items. The Text property gives you the text of the currently selected item. Ed would expect something more like this:

for (int i = 0; i < checkedListBox1->Items->Count; ++i) {
  Object^ item = checkedListBox1->Items[i];

  if (checkedListBox1->GetItemText(item) == "Hello") {
    checkedListBox->SelectedIndex = i;

    // Found a match, so we're done
    break;
  }
}

Thank you. Yes it was ofcourse Items->Count;
This worked fine.
