Hey There Everybody,

I'm new to posting. Hope I'm doing this right.

I'm also new to C#. I'm trying to get data from checkboxes
inside a groupbox with a foreach loop. (see attached .jpg)

I need to get the number of boxes checked as well as the
string text associated with the checked box.

Here's my method.

//gets toppings from groupBox_PIZZA_TOPPINGS
public void getToppingsMethod()
{
   numberOfToppings = 0;
   toppingsAccumulator = "";

      foreach (CheckBox check in groupBox_PIZZA_TOPPINGS)
      {
           if (check.Checked)
           {
               toppingsAccumulator = toppingsAccumulator + "\n" + check.Text;
           }

           numberOfToppings++;

       }//closes foreach

}//closes getToppings Method

It's not working. Here's the error it shows;

Quote

foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type
'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox' because 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox'
does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

It worked with radio buttons, I assumed it would work with checkboxes.

I searched the forums and found a similar post but couldn't
get the replied solution to work.

Any Suggestions?

Thank You!

You have your defined list of checkboxes, right? Why not just call each one, verify they are checked or not, increment your counter based on that, and get the 'text' names at the same time?

I think your foreach-Statement is wrong:

foreach (CheckBox check in groupBox_PIZZA_TOPPINGS)...

I can't check it, but with that it should work

foreach (CheckBox check in groupBox_PIZZA_TOPPINGS.Controls)...

All right, sounds good. Thanks!
