Changing checkbox state of listviewitem form code

Task:
I have a listview with checkboxes. The idear is that the only one item in the listview can be checked at one time. So when the user clicks on a new item the all other items should be unchecked (the other item).

My solution:
in the listview1_ItemCheck event I put code to uncheck the old item, ei:

Olditem.checked = CheckState.Unchecked

Problem:
this line of code

Olditem.checked = CheckState.Unchecked

makes the listview1_ItemCheck event fire again and thus causing an endless loop.....

Somebody.............Please help, this is not how it was in VB6...I know that some of you hate the remark.

Try this:

Private Sub ListView1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemCheck
If e.NewValue = CheckState.Checked Then
If Not oldItem Is Nothing Then
oldItem.Checked = False
End If
oldItem = ListView1.Items(e.Index)
Else
'Nothing
End If
End Sub

It did the job...Cheers!!
