Checkbox help

[Mast3rpyr0]

Ok i got a checkbox and depending on a key in an INI file it should start off checked. Ive tried

If $doCompress = "True" Then
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90, -1, -1, -1, $GUI_CHECKED) <--Done this in both style positions.
Else
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90);
EndIf

and

If $doCompress = "True" Then
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90);
GUICtrlSetData($doCompressConfig, $GUI_CHECKED)
Else
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90);
EndIf

Did i miss something?

Try this....

If $doCompress = "True" Then
GUICtrlSetState($doCompressConfig , $GUI_CHECKED)
Else
GUICtrlSetState($doCompressConfig , $GUI_UNCHECKED)
EndIf

Just make sure the checkbox is created before hand, that way this will just change it's status.

It looks light you had it right in the second one. Just instead of "GUICtrlSetData" use "GUICtrlSetState" =)

something like

If $doCompress == "True" Then
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90);
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
Else
$doCompressConfig = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Compress Backups", 75, 90);
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
EndIf
