You want to use implement code that handles the CheckedListBox' s ItemCheck event. Here you can check how many courses the user has selected:

[code=vbnet]
Private Sub checkedListBox1 _ItemCheck(send er As Object, _
e As ItemCheckEventA rgs) Handles checkedListBox1 .ItemCheck

If e.NewValue = CheckState.Unch ecked Then
If checkedListBox1 .CheckedItems.C ount < 3 Then
checkedListBox1 .Enabled = True
Else
checkedListBox1 .Enabled = False
End If
Else
button2.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub 'checkedListBox 1_ItemCheck
[/code]

You can determine which items were selected using the CheckedListBox' s CheckedItems property:

[code=vbnet]
For i = 0 To checkedListBox1 .CheckedItems.C ount - 1
'insert code that builds string here.
Next
[/code]

For more information on the CheckedListBox please see what MSDN has on the topic.

Hmm.. Seems that the checked listbox is locked from editing once 3 items have been checked.. I guess if you use that code you may need something like a "clear selections" button to unlock it should changes need to be made in the selection. (^_^)
