Well, check it right after you populate it. How can this ever be a problem? For this purpose, use System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox.SetItemChecked(index, true). For index, use Items.Count.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.checkedlistbox.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.checkedlistbox.setitemchecked.aspx[^].

Good... but perhaps Items.Count - 1 for index... ;)
