ItemCheckArea Property

Returns or sets how clicking on an item affects the item’s checked state, and also whether clicking on an item closes the dropdown list.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ItemCheckArea As ItemCheckArea
public ItemCheckArea ItemCheckArea {get; set;}
Remarks

The ItemCheckArea property determines which part of the item must be clicked to change its CheckState. When set to 'CheckBox', the user must click directly on the checkbox to change the checked state of the item. When set to 'Item', clicking anywhere on the item changes the checked state. In either case, when the user's click results in a change in the checked state, the dropdown is not automatically closed.

When clicking on the item causes the checked state to change, the SelectionChangeCommitted event is not fired. When MRU (Most Recently Used) functionality is enabled, the item is also not added to the MRU list in this case.

Example
The following code sample demonstrates how to configure the UltraComboEditor and UltraCombo controls to support "multiple item selection" using the properties of the EditorCheckedListSettings class:
