If checkbox is checked then...

[shutch00 0]

I'm doing data entry that involves checking a lot of check boxes in a web application. 

I'd like my script to tab through the checkboxes and, if a box is unchecked, check it by sending the spacebar.  The only problem is I don't know how to read if the box is already checked or not.

Any ideas?

EDIT:  I've looked at GUICtrlRead but I'm not sure how to make it work.

is it a website in html ?

then you can try

_IEFormElementGetValue()

Ah, I'll try that.  It's html and javascript.

[Edano 38]

<input type='checkbox' name='checkboxG2Example' value='gameTennis' checked>Tennis<br>

from _IE_Example()

.

"checked" is the keyword

 

Edit:

this is the correct function:

_IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect()

Success: If $f_select = -1, returns the current checked state, else returns 1

Thanks for the help.  I'll have to research as I'm not real familiar with the IE functions and how they work.

yes sure, that's a different world, but much better than sending "spacebars"
