How to check whether the checkbox is checked or not ?

[Shoby]

Hello,

I am working on .NET application which has checkboxes. So, i have to validate those checkbox controls whether they have checked or not.

I have used following code to test these but none works for me..

1. ControlCommand(("Task Wizard","","[NAME:chPrefixWSName]","IsChecked","") Returns 0. Same command for "IsEnabled", "Check"  is working; "Uncheck" not working.

2. GUICtrlRead("[NAME:chPrefixWSName]") Returns 0

3. GUICtrlGetState("[NAME:chPrefixWSName]") Returns -1

Always returns false even though the checkbox is checked. Is there any problem with the environment or AutoIT?

Can anyone help me on this ?

Try BM_GETCHECK message

with _WinAPI_SendMessageTimeout()

The timeout keeps your program from hanging if the target window does not respond.

Edit: Somehow you have to get the hwnd of the target.

Hello MilesAhead,

The control which i am testing is not created with the BS_AUTOCHECKBOX, BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON, BS_AUTO3STATE, BS_CHECKBOX, BS_RADIOBUTTON, orBS_3STATE style .

Could anyone suggest an alternative for this?

Hello Mikah ,

 

Thanks for the link. But the link is mostly about getting the .NET control handle. In my case i got the handle, Only thing is I couldnt get the state of the checkbox through autoIT as well as WInAPI..

 

Is there any other way or Autoit has its own limitations regarding to .NET checkbox control. I am confused..
