How do I store whether or not a box is checked in my GUI?

[sharrakor]

I made a gui for my program that saves values to an ini file. I was wondering though, how can I make it so that the next time the user starts the program and brings up the gui, the correct values are checked? What kind of variable would I use and how would I go about doing it?

Save the value with GUICtrlRead($checkbox).

Use this when you create your GUI (startup).

$checkbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("My checkbox", 40, 200, 250, 20)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, IniRead("file.ini", "Check", "Checkbox1", 4))

A checkbox can have two values, 1 or 4 depending on if it's selected or not.

1 = checked

4 = unchecked

Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know.

I'm assuming the same thing would apply for a dropdown list (guictrlsetdata)? Except with the value I want?

That's correct.

So how do I read the value (1 or 4)? If I see what the value of the box is equal to, it just gives me the control ID.

Sorry for the basic question.

IniWrite("file.ini", "Checkbox", "Checkbox1", GUICtrlRead($checkbox))

Thanks again!
