GuiCtrlGetState seemingly not returning checkbox state.

[jaberwacky]

So I'm making what I had assumed would be a stupid simple script.  The script is supposed to change Window's active mouse tracking.  Essentially, it makes window focus follow the mouse cursor.  The problem is when I use GUICtrlGetState on the checkboxes.  They return 80 which is GUI_ENABLE + GUI_SHOW.  Should they also not return GUI_CHECKED or GUI_UNCHECKED?  I'm sure I'm just overlooking something really simple.

from the help of GUICtrlGetState():

As opposed to GUICtrlRead() this function returns ONLY the state of a control enabled/disabled/hidden/show/dropaccepted

so use GuiCtrlRead().

One day I will not be so numb.

Thank you!
