GuiCtrlRead($Checkbox) return the state so you can test it with $GUI_CHECKED. remember you can have several state so the correct checking must be done with BitAnd(GuiCtrlRead($Checkbox), $GUI_CHECKED)

GuiCtrlgetState($Checkbox) as stated in the doc

As opposed to GUICtrlRead this function returns only the state of a control (disabled/hidden/etc)

Hi, here's another example with GUIEvent mode, shall you prefer this one.

We get the state of the checkbox and display it in the label below it.
