Unable to uncheck control

[hmsSurprise]

I can get focus of the control below with ControlFocus($title, '', 'TEdit2').

But ControlCommand($title, '', 'TEdit2', 'unCheck') returns a zero.

I also tried using the text. The (Control is hidden) message concerns me as the check box is clearly visible.

The WinTitleMatchMode option mode shouldn't affect controls shoudn't affect this should it.

Thanks for taking a look,

Which window in WinMerge are you trying this on ?

[hmsSurprise]

Thanks for posting.

"Completing the WinMerge Setup Wizard", the window with the finish button. The control label is 'Launch WinMerge'.

Some troubling news: 'unChecked' returns zero tho the visible check box is checked. As PsaltyDS said, there may be multiple windows stacked up here.

This is not a CheckBox control but a CheckListBox.

A work arround cound be :

ControlSend("Setup - WinMerge", '', 'TNewCheckListBox1', "L{SPACE}")

How did you determine that it was a CheckListBox? And could you give a brief explanation of the syntax of the 'fix', please?

Inquiring minds want to know.....

Thanks a bundle,

For me its Its: "Held van de dag"

I used a simple little script like this to determine its name by running it from SciTE:

While 1
    ConsoleWrite('ControlGetFocus("") = ' & ControlGetFocus("") & @crlf ) 
    sleep(1000)
WEnd

Then selected the 2 checkboxes which both returned : TNewCheckListBox1

The name tells you what type it is and the solution I use is by testing with the keyboard to see how the Control responded to the different keystrokes.

Neat, that's a great little idea.

"L{SPACE}" ?

Thanks again,

Typing L makes it jump to the bottom checkbox

{SPACE} toggles the Checkbox
