Hello,

 ![doubt](https://forum.radzen.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/908a3e611758503ad94048ac7904426c34b6c48e.jpeg)

Out of the above given options. If I select 'A' , I am trying to get the index value of 0 which is the index in an array format. Similarly for 'B' it should return 1 and for 'C' it should return 2. but upon using ${event.indexOf(checkboxlist0.Selected)} the only value I am getting is -1. Is there anyway to solve this?

If your options are populated from a variable like in this [thread](http://forum.radzen.com/t/dynamic-one-to-many-checkbox-list/1092) you should check this variable using the event argument for the index.
