Concatenate Checkbox Values into Text Area

User generated imageUser generated imageI have checkbox that when' Checked' sets the  value of the checkbox into a textarea. 

    Protected Sub chkReviewdate_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles chkReviewdate.CheckedChanged
        CheckActions()
        txtNotes.Text = "Review date to be added or incorrect"
    End Sub

Open in new window


The problem is that when more than 1 checkbox is checked it overwrites the value in   txtNotes.Text with the latest checkbox value

What I would like to do is list ALL the values of the 'Checked' checkboxes, not just the last one. Whats the best way to achieve this?

Hi Ed;

Try it something like this.
txtNotes.Text = txtNotes.Text & " " & "Append new value"

Open in new window

This should append the text as a new line
txtNotes.Text = txtNotes.Text & "\r\nReview date to be added or incorrect"

Thanks, I'll try that.  I would also like to add each value to a new line in the text area if that is possible.
