Windows Forms ListBox "GetItemValue" method

[dxlee]

In Windows Forms the ListBox class has a GetItemText method, but lacks a GetItemValue method. How to retrieve the associated value of any specified item? There is a SelectedValue property. That does not work for me because I need to get the value for any item without changing the selection of the listbox. Actually I was using the checkedListBox class. At a certain point in the program I want to get the associated values for the items the user put a check mark on. Thanks for your help
