Can I read the state of a checkbox in a window?

Hi.

Can I read the state of a checkbox in a window?

I tried the GUICtrlRead (controlID), but it's not working.

my requirement is :

I need to read the state of a checkbox in 'Properties' window of file/folder.

It is mentioned in the help of autoit that 'ControlID' of GUICtrlRead () is the one returned by GUICtrlCreate..().

Does this mean GUICtrlRead () works only with the controls created using autoit script?

Thanks,

Ranjit

Try looking at ControlCommand in Window Managment in the help file

Does this mean GUICtrlRead () works only with the controls created using autoit script?

Yes GUI... works with GUI... not with Win... or Control... .

Reverse can work but I will not suggest except when the Functionality is not available in GUI...
