Public Class Checkbxvb
Private Sub Checkbxvb_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Colour selection" ' Set the title name of the form 
Label1.Text = "Select the Colours name"
CheckBox1.Text = "Black"
CheckBox2.Text = "Blue"
CheckBox3.Text = "Red" 
CheckBox4.Text = "Orange" 
CheckBox5.Text = "Green" 
CheckBox6.Text = "Purple" 
Button1.Text = "Close"
Button2.Text = "Submit"
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim colour As String
colour = " "
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
colour = "Black"
End If
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then
'colour = CheckBox2.Text
colour = colour & " Blue"
End If
If CheckBox3.Checked = True Then
colour = colour & " Red"
End If
If CheckBox4.Checked = True Then
colour = colour & " Orange"
End If
If CheckBox5.Checked = True Then
colour = colour & " Green"
End If
If CheckBox6.Checked = True Then
colour = colour & " Purple"
End If
If colour.Length <> 0 Then
MsgBox(" Selected items " & colour)
End If 
CheckBox1.ThreeState = True
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
End 'terminate the program
End Sub
End Class
