Here is how the ini file looks like: [Functions] 1=function1,function2,function3,function4 2=function1,function2,function 3=function1 4=function2,function3,function4 0=function4 [Colors] 0=GENERIC 1=WHITE 2=RED 3=GREEN 4=YELLOW GENERIC=0b0000 0x0 0 WHITE=0b0001 0x1 1 RED=0b0010 0x2 2 GREEN=0b0100 0x4 4 YELLOW=0b1000 0x8 8

Here is the code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data; using System.Linq; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; namespace ListColors { public partial class frmColors : Form { public frmColors() { InitializeComponent(); } public List values { get ; set ; } private void frmColors_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { values = INIValue.IniValues(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\ListColors.ini" ); cboColor.DataSource = GetFunctions(); } public List GetFunctions() { List returnValue = new List (); List functions = values.Where(v => v.Section == "Functions" ).ToList(); foreach (INIValue iv in functions) { returnValue.AddRange(iv.Value.Split( new Char[] { ',' })); } return returnValue.Distinct().ToList(); } private void cboColor_SelectedIndexChanged( object sender, EventArgs e) { chkWhite.Checked = HasColor( "WHITE" ); chkRed.Checked = HasColor( "RED" ); chkGreen.Checked = HasColor( "GREEN" ); chkYellow.Checked = HasColor( "YELLOW" ); chkGeneric.Checked = HasColor( "GENERIC" ); } private Boolean HasColor(String color) { String function = cboColor.SelectedItem.ToString(); List keys = new List (); List functions = values.Where(v => v.Section == "Functions" ).ToList(); List colors = values.Where(v => v.Section == "Colors" ).ToList(); foreach (INIValue f in functions) { if (f.Value.IndexOf(function) != -1) keys.Add(f.Key); } return keys.Exists(k => k == colors.Single(c => c.Value == color).Key); } } public class INIValue { public String Section { get ; set ; } public String Key { get ; set ; } public String Value { get ; set ; } public INIValue() { Section = Key = Value = String.Empty; } public INIValue(String section, String key, String value) : this () { Section = section; Key = key; Value = value; } public static List IniValues(String INIFilePath) { List returnValue = new List (); String[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(INIFilePath); String section = String.Empty; foreach (String line in lines) { if (line.StartsWith( "[" )) { section = line.Replace( "[" , "" ).Replace( "]" , "" ); continue ; } if (line.IndexOf( '=' ) != -1) { String[] keyValue = line.Split( new Char[] { '=' }); returnValue.Add( new INIValue(section, keyValue[0], keyValue[1])); } } return returnValue; } } } And here is how the form looks: You obviously will need to design the form.
