c# - How to create a checkbox for each possible enum value in Windows forms? -

say have enum identifier {name, id, number} , want provide user message dialog checkboxes each possible identifier value , ok button. on dialog confirmation list<identifier>(empty if none of checkboxes selected). how such simple thing winforms?

you can array of values in enum with:

var valuesarray = enum.getvalues(typeof (identifier)); 

to display checkboxes:

foreach (var val in valuesarray) {     //create checkbox     var cb = new checkbox();     cb.name = string.format("cb_{0}", val);     cb.text = val; //set properties      //add form controls     this.controls.add(cb); } 

to list, checkboxes on form:

var checkedidentifiers = new list<identifier>(); foreach (var val in valuesarray) {     //find checkbox     var cb = this.controls[string.format("cb_{0}", val)];     if (cb != null && cb.checked)         checkedidentifiers.add((identifier)enum.parse(typeof(identifier), val)); } 

you can additional error checking above, gist of it.
