A couple GUI questions

[MadCoder]

As you may be able to tell, I'm very new to A3'S GUI API's. I can't seen to find any reference to Enabling / Disabling buttons.

I need to disable the install button upon click and well as the cancel.

Also, How do I check the if a Checkbox has been click or not. What I plan on doing is a IF/THEN/ELSE. If the checkbox is checked then

run autoit installation script, else... move on. If there is a better way, I'm always opening to learn.

Can someone give me a simple working example checkbox and/or button example? Something I can actually learn from?

Below is my GUI code:
