industry7 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I need to see if a checkbox is marked or not. I can't seem to find the function to do this. The closest I found were GUICtrlGetState and GUICtrlRead, but the documentation says they can only accept a controlID that was returned by a GUICtrlCreate... function ie. one that I made myself. I need to look at a markbox in the program that I'm trying to automate. I tried used those functions anyway, but couldn't get them to work. So how is this supposed to be done? I feel really dumb that I can't figure out such a basic task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikjay Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) If the checkbox already exists, you won't be able to get the state using the ctrlread function. What about pixelsearch to find the color black in the box? This is kind of a bad reply, as I answered before I realized it wasn't the GUI you created.

Then you can use: $IsChecked = ControlCommand("Window Title", "", $idChkBox, "IsChecked") ; Where $idChkBox is the control ID Edited November 11, 2009 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
