Manipulating Check Boxes in Visual Basic 2008

Check box is a very useful control in Visual Basic 2008. It allows the user to select one or more items by checking the checkbox/checkboxes concerned. For example, in the Font dialog box of any Microsoft Text editor like FrontPage, there are many checkboxes under the Effects section such as that shown in the diagram below. The user can choose underline, subscript, small caps, superscript, blink and etc. In Visual Basic, you may create a shopping cart where the user can click on checkboxes that correspond to the items they intend to buy, and the total payment can be computed at the same time.
