CheckedChanged event firing on form open

[gleeb]

Hi all,
I know I have seen this discussed somewhere, but cannot find it for some reason. I'm using VB.NET 05.

Inside the CheckedChanged event for a checkbox on my form, I have some code to perform. I check the state of the box, and if it is checked I add a flag to a patient class.

        pt.NonCompliant = chkNonComp.Checked
        pt.Update()

The problem is that the event fires every time the form opens. How can I ignore this event until the check box actually changes?
Thanks

I've not experienced that problem with 2008, however two possible ways around it:

1: Add the CheckBox Checked handler in the FormLoad Event (using AddHandler) or ...

2:

Public Class Form1

	Private ImActive As Boolean = False

	Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged

		If ImActive Then
			MessageBox.Show("CheckChanged Event")
		End If

	End Sub

	Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated

		If Not ImActive Then ImActive = True

	End Sub
End Class

Hope this helps.

Thanks. AddHandler worked like a charm and more elegant. I had used it elsewhere but couldn't remember that. I'm getting old I guess. Thanks again,
