If you wish, you can read the list of toppings in from a file instead of adding them to the collection for the checked list box:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim s As String
FileOpen(1, "C:\zebra0\resource\toppings.txt", OpenMode.Input) 'open the file for input
While Not EOF(1) 'EOF=End of file, this loops to read all lines in the file
S = LineInput(1) 'read from file 1
Me.CheckBoxToppings.Items.Add(S) 'add the item read to the combo box
End While
FileClose(1) 'close file 1
End Sub
You learn as you experiment and refine the project. Don't be afraid to add additional refinements to this project.
