Checkbox State

[CygnusX1]

Hello All,

I'm trying to use the function: $state = GUICtrlGetState(1024) to get the state of a checkbox. The function keeps returning -1. I used the AutoIt Window Info and get the Control ID but still no luck. I was able to get the handle of the control using: ControlGetHandle but now what?

The Window Info says the control is a button.

I read a few posts on this problem but couldn't find a solution. The control was not created with GUICtrlCreate therefore GUICtrlRead doesn't work either.

Thanks for any help.

We could use another hint - is the checkbox in a webpage or in an application on the local machine, or remote machine?

Thanks for the quick responses.

GUICtrlRead does not work. I thought this only worked for controls create with GUICtrlCreate.

The checkbox is on a local machine and is not a webpage.

Hey - this worked pretty well

$state = ControlCommand($sOptions, "Use Monkey Wrench", 1024, "IsChecked")

ConsoleWrite($state & @LF)

I love answering my own questions :-)
