CheckBoxes...

[lopolop]

how can i tell if a CheckBox is Checked... and can save it too a ini file..

This doesnt work...

$SaveGUI = GuiCreate("Save New file", 311, 60,(@DesktopWidth-311)/2, (@DesktopHeight-60)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

$Input_1 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("New", 140, 10, 160, 20)
$Label_2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("State the Name of file and Hit Save.", 10, 10, 120, 30)
$Button_3 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Save", 70, 40, 150, 20)

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        GUIDelete($SaveGUI)
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $Button_3
        _FileCreate(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini")
        If FileExists(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini") Then
IniWrite(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini", "Settings", "test", GUICtrlRead($test))
            GUIDelete($SaveGUI)
            ExitLoop
        Else
            MsgBox( 2, "File Error", "Unable to create new file.")
            GUIDelete($SaveGUI)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        
    EndSelect
WEnd

this is only a snipit... $test = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("RaNdOm", 144, 164, 109, 17)

i was thinking that if it was checked it would return 1... but it isnt working like that...(i also have 'load' code that works if the ini has a 1 then the Check the Checkbox)

This will write the checkbox state to the ini.

IniWrite(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini", "Settings", "Checkbox", GUICtrlRead($Checkbox))oÝ÷ Ù8b³¥·vØ^xÛ¶Ø^²Ö­zíç!yÉ£h­Á«,j÷jëh×6GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox, IniRead(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini", "Settings", "Checkbox", ""))

Should that Be a 1 for the state?

I have

IniWrite(GUICtrlRead($Input_1)&".ini", "Settings", "Checkbox", GUICtrlRead($Checkbox))

Yep, alternatively you can use $GUI_CHECKED and $GUI_UNCHECKED. They are defined in the GUIConstants.au3 include.

would this same technique work for writing to and parsing txt files instead of ini files to save or retrieve the state of checkboxes?
