CHECKBOX QUESTION

I have a form that has three buttons

1. File Check
2. Run Program
3. Exit

File check does what it says, looks to see if files are present. If they
are present, it updates the chkbox/label with a CHECK.

I then want to run the program in accordance with which boxes are checked.
I tried you thisform.check.value but it doesn't work.

Is there an easy to do this. I am getting I need to pass a value at some
point?

Thanks in advance.

Hi dthmtlgod:

I placed a checkbox object on a form and used this code in the Click event
of a command button to determine if the check box was checked or not:

IF thisform.Check1.Value=1
WAIT WINDOW "Checked"
ELSE
WAIT WINDOW "not checked"
ENDIF

I hope this helps.

dhtmlgod,

A checkbox initializes to the value set up in for it design time. A checkbox
can have either a numeric (0 or 1) or Boolean (.T. or .F.) value, it depends
on what you do in design, or if its from a foundation class etc. On your
form, check the value and change it to the data type that works for your
application.

*(Numeric Example)
IF Thisform.checkbox1.value = 1 & Box checked
ELSE
ENDIF

*(Logical Example)
IF Thisform.CheckBox1.Value
ELSE
ENDIF

HTH,
Marc
