Reading a check button.

[hmsSurprise]

Tried to read a check button using the following but the GUICtrlRead always returns a zero. Is this the wrong approach?

jh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Func autoLogon()

Run("c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c control userpasswords2")

WinWait("User Accounts","")

$hWnd = WinGetHandle ("User Accounts")

Sleep(800)

$hCont = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "Button1")

MsgBox(0, "User Accts should be open, handle = ", $hCont)

$result = GUICtrlRead($hCont)

MsgBox(0, "checkboxValue", $result)

EndFunc

Functions starting with GUI is for GUICreate and its family and not for windows created by other applications.

controlID - The control identifier (controlID) as returned by a GUICtrlCreate... function.

Have you tried to use ControlGetText instead ?

What I do to read a checkbox then check it if it is not already is:

If ControlCommand("Security for ROOT\CIMV2", "Allow Enable Account", "Button11", "IsChecked", "") = 0 Then
    ControlCommand("Security for ROOT\CIMV2", "Allow Enable Account", "Button11", "Check", "")
EndIf

Since your control is named "Button1", I'm assuming it's a radio button or checkbox, so this should work:

Func autoLogon()
    Run("c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c control userpasswords2")
    WinWait("User Accounts","")
    $result = ControlCommand("User Accounts", "", "Button1", "IsChecked")
    MsgBox(0, "checkboxValue", $result)
EndFunc

Sorry to bother folks, was just proceeding based on a reply to an earlier post. I just tried ControlCommand and was going to say Never Mind but you guys are too smart and too quick for us old farts.
