Arrays and Checkboxes

[SinSoul 0]

Hello everyone. I've just joined the community and also just started using autoit. I'm really new to it, so please don't judge me too heavily. In any case, here's my question:

I got multiple Checkboxes situated over Buttons. I have script manipulating checkbox(on button click checkbox will be checked or unchecked, depending on condition). Is there a way to do that with all checkboxes using arrays and for statement? Or any other method?

Here's what I came up with(of course not working):

Global $BUTTON[5]
Global $CHECKBOX[5]
$BUTTON[1] = EZSKINBUTTON("button1",             35,  60, 75, 30)
$CHECKBOX1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 85,  70, 10, 10)
$BUTTON[2] = EZSKINBUTTON("button2",         35, 100, 100, 30)
$CHECKBOX[2] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 85,  110, 10, 10)
$BUTTON[3] = EZSKINBUTTON("button3",          35, 140, 100, 30)
$CHECKBOX[3] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 85,  150, 10, 10)
$BUTTON[4] = EZSKINBUTTON("button4",          35, 180, 100, 30)
While 1
    EZSKINOVER()
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    For $i = 1 to 6 Step +1
        If $MSG = $BUTTON[$i] Then
            If GUICtrlRead($CHECKBOX[$i] = $GUI_CHECKED Then
                GUICtrlSetState($CHECKBOX[$i], $GUI_UNCHECKED)
            Else
                GUICtrlSetState($CHECKBOX[$i], $GUI_CHECKED)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd
#endregion

Or do I have to declare each set manually? :S

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please close the topic...I had silly code mistake

If GUICtrlRead($CHECKBOX[$i][color="#FF0000"])[/color] = $GUI_CHECKED Then

Forgot the close the bracet

Too late, I just created an example:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Check Boxes", 210, 100)
Local $ahCheckBox[4] = ["CH0","CH1","CH2","CH3"], $iLeft = 10, $iTop = 10
For $i = 0 To 3
    $ahCheckBox[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($ahCheckBox[$i], $iLeft, $iTop, 45, 14)
    $iLeft += 50
Next
Local $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check/Uncheck", 50, 45, 95)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
            ExitLoop
        ElseIf $msg = $hButton Then
            _CheckBoxToggle($ahCheckBox)
        EndIf
WEnd

Func _CheckBoxToggle($ahCheckBox)
    For $i = 0 To UBound ($ahCheckBox) -1
        If GUICtrlRead($ahCheckBox[$i]) = $GUI_UNCHECKED Then
            GUICtrlSetState($ahCheckBox[$i], $GUI_CHECKED)
        Else
            GUICtrlSetState($ahCheckBox[$i], $GUI_UNCHECKED)
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

Thank you very much! Even though I've found a problem, but still your example probably 100 times more effective.

Now that is slick. I never gave thought to build out controls like that. Thanks for the insight.

Thank you =) btw your code works like a charm. Used it also to generate buttons. I'm getting to love AutoIt xD Also thank you for fast reply
