either save it in a ini file or registry key or some other type of file you app can read.

[/dev/null]

As you say: If the registry key is enabled the checkbox was set, otherwise it was not set. So, the registry key you want to set is everything you need, as you can use it as a "flag".

You are saying that you want the script to "remember" the state

of the checkbox. You are also saying that the checkbox toggles

a registry setting on and off. See the connection here ?

Why not read the registry-value at the beginning of the script,

and if the value says that the registry setting is enabled you

just create the checkbox like this :

$cCheckBox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox",10,10,100,20)
GUICtrlSetState($cCheckBox,$GUI_CHECKED)

And later when the checkbox is pressed you just do the same,

but this time you also change the registry-value to the

opposite setting it's currently set to :

Select
Case $msg = $cCheckBox
    If RegRead(...) = "enabled" Then
        RegWrite("disable")
        GUICtrlSetState($cCheckBox,$GUI_UNCHECKED)
    Else
        RegWrite("enable")
        GUICtrlSetState($cCheckBox,$GUI_CHECKED)
    EndIf

Hopefully this will give you the idea and help you getting started.

Good luck !
