Query1:” Is there a way to initially checkAll items without firing the checkChange event?”
Yes, you can use the "checkAll" method without firing the "checkChange" event on initial load. To use, you need to call the checkall() method in the create event of the Listbox.
Please find the below demo for your reference:
Query2:” Right now the event is fired x times depending on the amount of items in the ListBox.”
