Look for a Windows forms' control called CheckedListBox in your toolbox instead Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?

Yes, take a look below at the following self-explanatory code chunk. First I add three items into the checkedListBox, and then I get the text of the selected ones by looping through each one of them:

string checkedItems = "";

// Add a few items into the checkedListBox control
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 1", CheckState.Checked);
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 2", CheckState.Indeterminate);
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 3", CheckState.Unchecked);

// Retrieve the selected items in a string
for (int i = 0; i < this.checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (this.checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i))
checkedItems += this.checkedListBox1.Items[i].ToString() + "\n";
}

MessageBox.Show(checkedItems);
