Trying to determine if a box is checked or not

[m0ngr31]

I'm trying to make a simple script that will turn off program updates (Java, adobe reader and flash, quicktime, ect), and it works great if every computer is on the same page, but some computers have already had Java update, for instance, disabled. This messes up my script because it assumes it needs to tab through the options and select certain checkboxes/radio buttons.

Is there a way to check if something is enabled already so I can just throw an IF statement in there? I've seen threads about checking the boxes for windows that AutoIt has created, but I'm not sure how to make it work in a regular window... Any suggestions?

Here's my code:

;Disable Adobe Reader Updates
Run("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe")
WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader")
Send("!en")
WinWaitActive("Preferences")
Send("uu!n{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("Adobe Reader")
WinClose("Adobe Reader")
;Disable Flash Updates
Run("control C:\Windows\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl")
WinWaitActive("Flash Player Settings Manager")
Send("{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{TAB}{TAB}{DOWN}")
WinClose("Flash Player Settings Manager")
;Disable Java Updates
Run("C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javacpl.exe")
WinWaitActive("Java Control Panel")
Send("{RIGHT}{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}")
WinWaitActive("Java Update - Warning")
Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("Java Control Panel")
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}{ENTER}")

To determine if a box of another application is checked use:

ControlCommand ("title", "text", controlID, "IsChecked")

Replace "title" and "text" with the corresponding data of the application to automate. The controlID can be determined by the AutoIt WindowInfo tool.

or you can your the If else statement

if ControlCommand ("title", "text", controlID, "IsChecked") Then
condition here
Else

condition here
endif
