Using Case on GUI checkbox


Recommended Posts

I used Koda to generate my GUI, and I have included a checkbox. The code generates a Case for this checkbox (which I assume case activates if checkbox is selected).

How do I go about creating a rule if checkbox is de-selected in my Case? My sample below sets a variable to process later in my script. I want to reverse the Case if checkbox is de-selected, I want it to return $showInput = "FALSE"

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $Form1
        Case $Label1
        Case $Button1
            processCheck()
        Case $Button2
            LOCAL $confirmExit
            $confirmExit = msgbox(292, "Confirm Exit...", "Do you want to exit this program?")
            If $confirmExit = 6 Then
                Exit
            EndIf
        Case $Checkbox1
            GLOBAL $showInput
            $showInput = "TRUE"
    EndSwitch
WEnd

You can use "$showInput= Not $showInput" to toggle it between True and False every time the check box is clicked. Also, move the Global $showInput outside of the While loop, you only need to declare it once, and you should set the value of it outside the loop to either True or False so that the checkbox acts on it properly.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

@BrewManNH ahh you're right about the variable. I set that LOCAL variable inside the case, so I think I had done it automatically without thinking.

Gah it wouldn't let me edit my previous post.

It works perfectly. Thanks for the assistance.
