Predefine Checkmarks of CheckboxList

Question

I want to predefine checkboxes to be able to represent the actual status of some variables. The appoach to edit the "selectedIndexes" did not work. What is the best way to achieve this?

bool[] options = new bool[] { true, false, false, false, false };
string[] showComponents = new string[] { "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5" };

DialogCheckboxList myCheckboxlist = DialogManager.CreateCheckboxList();        
myCheckboxlist.Initialize(showComponents, OnCheckboxValidateClicked, "OK", "Show components", null, null, "Exit");
myCheckboxlist.selectedIndexes = options;
myCheckboxlist.Show();

Hello!

Well that's because you also need to add this:

for (int i = 0; i < myCheckboxlist.selectionItems.Count; i++)
{
    myCheckboxlist.selectionItems[i].itemCheckbox.toggle.isOn = options[i];
}

So the whole thing would be:

bool[] options = new bool[] { true, false, true, true, false };
string[] showComponents = new string[] { "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5" };

DialogCheckboxList myCheckboxlist = DialogManager.CreateCheckboxList();        
myCheckboxlist.Initialize(showComponents, OnCheckboxValidateClicked, "OK", "Show components", null, null, "Exit");
myCheckboxlist.selectedIndexes = options;
for (int i = 0; i < myCheckboxlist.selectionItems.Count; i++)
{
	myCheckboxlist.selectionItems[i].itemCheckbox.toggle.isOn = options[i];
}
myCheckboxlist.Show();

Yes I know, this is not ideal and we should improve that :)
