title: Disabling checkbox selections in VB .NET 2008 Winform Listview
body: <p>How do you disable additional checkbox selections/deselections without sacrificing the functionality of the ListView?  I know you can call: ListView.Enabled = False, but that also disables any scrolling within it.</p>
  
  <p>For example:  I have a timer that starts a backup based on the Listview items that are checked.  After a certain time, I don't want the end-user to be able to click on any of the checkboxes within the listview (so I have a set number of items to backup), but I do want them to be able to scroll the list while the backup is being performed.  I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub clboxOptions_ItemChecked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckedEventArgs) Handles clboxOptions.ItemChecked
  
  If backupStarted = True Then
     If e.Item.Checked = True Then
        e.Item.Checked = False
     Else
        e.Item.Checked = True
  End If
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this doesn't seem to work for me.
  Thanks!
