I want to limit a TCheckListBox. I desire only 2 items should be checked, and all unchecked items will be disabled and grayed. Since the checked / unchecked items are dynamic, i can not use a static itemIndex.
Here is what i tried, but i got "Out of chip bounds" error.
On click event of my CheckListBox ;
var
NumberOfCheckedItems, I: Integer;
begin
NumberOfCheckedItems := 0;
for I := 0 to CkLst1.Count - 1 do
begin
if CkLst1.Checked[I] then
NumberOfCheckedItems := NumberOfCheckedItems + 1;
end;
if NumberOfCheckedItems > 1 then
begin
CkLst1.Checked[I] := Enabled;
CkLst1.Enabled := FALSE;
CkLst1.AllowGrayed := TRUE;
end
else
begin
//no idea
end;
end;
This method should do the job
procedure DoCheckListBox( AChkLb : TCheckListBox; AMaxCheck : Integer );
var
LIdx : Integer;
LCheckCount : Integer;
begin
// counting
LCheckCount := 0;
for LIdx := 0 to AChkLb.Count - 1 do
begin
if AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] then
if LCheckCount = AMaxCheck then
AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] := False
else
Inc( LCheckCount );
end;
// enable/disable
for LIdx := 0 to AChkLb.Count - 1 do
AChkLb.ItemEnabled[LIdx] := AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] or ( LCheckCount < AMaxCheck );
end;
UPDATE
You better call this inside TCheckListBox.OnClickCheck
event instead of OnClick
event.
A double-click can affect the check-state but OnClick
is not called.
OnClickCheck
is called whenever the check-state changes.
