IsChecked in the Control Command

[Prasanna]

Hi guys,

I'm new to autoit. I've tried to trace a checkbox state using the "IsChecked" option but it results as unchecked even if the check box is in checked state. the code what i'm using is,

if(ControlCommand("Main","Main","[ClassNN:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app332]","IsChecked", "")==0) Then

MsgBox(0,"","Not Checked")

Else

MsgBox(0,"","Checked")

EndIf

So anybody can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

The comparation operator in a if condition is = not == like in c++ , php .. etc ..

Prasanna,

Welcome to the forum!

The help file says

Note: AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls - some applications write their own custom controls which may look like a standard MS control but may resist automation. Experiment!

This code works as expected for me:

Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1")

WinWaitActive("Display Properties", "Screen Saver")

If ControlCommand("Display", "", "Button4", "IsChecked", "") = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "not checked")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "checked")
EndIf

The help file also says that you can use "==" as an operator in a If/Then/Else/EndIf line:

RemarksIf statements may be nested.

The expression can contain the boolean operators of AND, OR, and NOT as well as the logical operators <, <=, >, >=, =, ==, and <> grouped with parentheses as needed.

...but, you may not want to do that in this type of comparison...

The "IsChecked" ControlCommand returns a number.

I think that the "==" is for string compares, but you can figure out how AutoIt handles "=" and "==" in this thread - maybe:

As for this part of your code

"[ClassNN:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app332]"

Please open the AutoIt Window Info tool

Click on the control of interest

Press Ctrl-Alt-F to freeze the data in the AutoIt Window Info tool

then copy/paste/post the info from the "Summary tab" of that tool for the Control Section - like this:

>>>> Control <<<<

Class: SysListView32

Instance: 1

ClassnameNN: SysListView321

Hi, I have the same problem.

When I tested my script on a windows built-in application it worked however...

guess this goes under:

"AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls - some applications write their own custom controls which may look like a standard MS control but may resist automation."
