When I populate a list with some child elements checked and others not, how do I refresh the state of the checkbox on the parent without expanding the checkbox?
In the attached images, Populated is what I see immediately after the list is populated and Expanded is what I see when I expand the first item. The checkbox beside the parent now shows the correct tri-state symbology.

Hi David,
The reason why the CheckState of a parent item is not updated until it's expanded is that the containers for its children are not yet generated. The way to work around this is to get a reference to the container of the parent item that you add children to and manually set its CheckState to the appropriate value, depeneding on the states of the children. Let me know if you need help with that.
Kind regards,

I don't have that many items and have other reasons to force all child containers to be generated. That should do it too right?

Hello Dave,
Yes, if the containers for the child items are generated/rendered, then the CheckState of the parent item should be updated correctly.
