For each in CheckedListBox. returns as Object and not as Control

Question

I have a CheckedListBox previously populated. I want to loop with a \"for each / next\" through all items in the CheckedListBox and do a lot of \"stuff\" with each iteration

Answer 1

A CheckedListBox is not a collection of CheckBox controls.
It does not have a collection of wrapper objects.

The CheckedListBox control is a simple control that can only display a plain list of items; it sounds like you're looking for something more powerful. (For example, it is impossible to change the background color of an individual item without owner-drawing)

You should use a ListView (with the CheckBoxes property set to true) instead.
You can then loop through the ListViewItem instances in its Items collection.

Answer 2

For Each item In SuppliersCheckList.CheckedItems
        If SuppliersCheckList.GetItemCheckState(SuppliersCheckList.Items.IndexOf(item)) Then
            MsgBox(item.ToString)
        End If
Next
