Implementation issues with check buttons

[falco85]

Hi guys,

I am trying to automate the check/uncheck of check boxes in a program, trying to use ControlCommand. However, it doesn't work when trying to uncheck something. A turnaround to this problem would be to send tabs and space but the problem is that I don't know the initial state of the box and I want to make sure that it will check/uncheck when I tell the script to do so. Therefore this is critical for my script. Any help on that issue is greatly appreciated Thank you

Run the AutoIt Window Info Tool (AU3Info.exe) to identify the control, then post the control information and ControlCommand() code you tried on it.

also ,you can try ControlSend with Space on this control since ControlCommand don't work on it

I don't use ControlCommand personally but reading the documentation it appears you can still do something similar...

_check("NameOfYourControlID")

Func _check($controlID)
    If BitAND(ControlCommand("Title","",$controlID,"IsChecked",""),1) = 1 Then
        ;box state is checked so uncheck
        ControlCommand("Title","",$controlID,"UnCheck","")
    Else
        ;box is unchecked so check it
        ControlCommand("Title","",$controlID,"Check","")
    EndIf
EndFunc
