Using Visual Basic .NET, I'm trying to make a checked list box. Now, what I have in that list box are certain values(duh, I know), but when you click on those values, I want them to add a certain value to something. I have tried messing with a piece of code that M$ provided but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Some background into what I'm doing. I'm creating an area creator program for my online game. It stores this certain value in a Bit Vector(hopefully that's how they do it). So if the 3rd and 2nd item on the list are checked, it adds a certain value for the 2nd and the 3rd item to a value, then puts the value into a file. I thought the most user friendly one would be to make the checkedlist box, but if that doesn't work, I'm going to need to create a second form, but I'll need to have that form return a value to this form...
So any help is appriciated very much by myself and all those who want me to finish this damn project.
