Items.Count command
i have a databoud checkbox that can return anywhere from 1 to server HUNDRED checkboxes depending on what a user selects from a drop down list. my question is this, everytime i try to find out how many controls were returned, it comes back with 0
i use CheckBoxList1.Items.Count is there a different sytex i should be using for data bound controls?

Hi,
I dont know if this is a bit clunky but you could loop through all of the controls on your form counting the number of checkboxes as you go: Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption = CountChecks
End Sub
Private Function CountChecks() As Integer
CountChecks = 0
For Each Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf Control Is CheckBox Then
CountChecks = CountChecks + 1
End If
Next
End Function

The only other suggestion I can make is that you could adjust your naming convention, maybe prefix the ones that you want to ignore with a certain string and only count the ckeckboxes whose names dont start with that string. For example, if you name all of the checkboxes on your form "ckb" followed by a unique ID, you can only count the dynamically created checkboxes: Code:
Dim myControl As Control
For Each myControl In Me.Controls
If TypeOf myControl Is CheckBox Then
If Left(myControl.Name, 3) <> "ckb" Then countchecks = countchecks + 1
End If
Next

I dont know I'm sorry, I was just trying to give you some ideas, but I would have thought that as long as you stick to a certain naming convention you should be able to only count the ones you want.

CheckBoxList1.Items.Count will return the items count.
it works. the problem is elsewhere, post your code and we'll try to help you locate and fix the real problem.
