Selecting an ItemContainer

Selecting an ItemContainer raises both a selectionchanging and selectionchanged event. You can handle these events to detect when an ItemContainer is selected.

Imagine, for example, that you want to create a set of options that work like radio buttons. When you select one option, all of the other options are unselected automatically so that you can select only one option at a time.

Listing 7.3 contains three ItemContainers that represent the three options.
