Not as much of a noob?

Due to some help from Herewasplato my script below is working to simply uncheck or check the proxy settings box under Lan settings in internet options. Some people in the office would like to use it but gave me a good idea for improving it.

;~      New code here
;~      then if the check box is now checked use a send to take out what is in the address field and put in the new setting.
;~      I think I know how to do the send to put the right info in part.

        WinWait("Local Area Network (LAN) Settings","Use a pro&xy server for your LAN")
        WinActivate("Local Area Network (LAN) Settings")

I have tried just throwing the address in there but if the checkbox is not checked it throws commands to the window to change a bunch of other settings instead of ignoring the send that i used because the field is inactive. Any help for a clueless noob on this one would be great. Thanks.

Have you tried ControlCommand() with the "IsChecked" option?

[immerume2]

Haven't tried that yet. Will try that command. I tried searching for key words that I could think it would be under and did not come across that command. Thanks for the quick reply.

[immerume2]

Worked like a champ. Thanks a lot.
