VB.NET CheckedListBox Control
The CheckedListBox is similar to Listbox except that it displays all items in the list with a checkbox that allows users to check or uncheck single or multiple items.
Let's create a CheckedListBox control in the VB.NET Windows form using the following steps.
Step 1: Drag the CheckedListBox control from the Toolbox and drop it to the Windows form, as shown below.
Step 2: Once the CheckedListBox is added to the Form, we can set various properties of the CheckedListbox by clicking on the CheckedListBox control.
