[shiv]

vis,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

I am assuming this is a checkbox in an external application - so I suggest trying ControlCommand with the IsEnabled command.

Thanks M23 for helping ,

but i have already used the below mentioned code:

Local $iCheck = ControlCommand("Options","checkbox","IsEnabled",288)
    
      If $iCheck == 0 Then
         $sRemark = "PASS"
         Sleep(5000)
      ControlClick("Options","checkbox",288)
   
      ControlClick("Options","OK",1)

else

$sRemark = "ALREADYCHECKED" 
       ControlClick("Options","OK",1)

[in the else part i have used controlclick for OK button only i.e. if checkbox is already checked no need to check it, becuse if i do that it will uncheck the checkbox

AND ,what i want from this code is that if my checkbox is already checked/Enabled then it should not click on the checkbox or is should show the prompt that your checkbox is already ckecked.

please help

you need to decide whether you want to test if it's enabled or checked

i want to test whether it is checked or unchecked

Then you should use the "IsChecked" command and not the "IsEnabled".

But before you do that you should take a good and proper look at it in the help file, because you seem to have wrong parameters.

You'll need to use the window info toll in autoit install dir to get the control id of your target.

hi john i have already used "IsChecked" command but didn't get success, and in the code mentioned above i have used the window info tool, 288 mentioned above is the checkbox ID,,

can you provide me the code for " if the checkbox is already checked then it prompt a message that your checkbox is checked already, so not need to check it.

Local $iCheck = ControlCommand("Options", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:13]", "IsChecked")
    
If $iCheck Then
    $sRemark = "Is checked"
Else
    $sRemark = "Is not checked"
EndIf

MsgBox(0,"state", $sRemark)
