If you want the checkbox check, set the value of the checkbox variable to 1
or TRUE, and to uncheck the checkbox, set the value to 0 or FALSE. What
embed to enter this depends on how and when you want to change the checkbox.

hth,
Jeff

Do you have some sample code for that?

I have tried:
?Checkbox1{PROP:CHECKED} = TRUE

but it does not work.

Hello
Maybe you have to use a DISPLAY() command after the prop change.

Why dont you use a locale variable?

LOC:Checkvalue
then set the USE property for the check to LOC:CheckValue

LOC:CheckValue=1 ! or true
dispay() ! Check is on

if the variable name is checkbox1...

checkbox1 = true
display(?checkbox1)

The display command MAY not be necessary...depends on where your code is
placed.

In the checkbox properties, you need to tell it what you consider true
and false.

I usually use 1 and 0 for true and false, respectively.

Click on the control and press enter to display the properties and
youll see what I mean.

SO

CHANGE(?checkField,'Yes')
CHANGE(?checkField,'No')

CHANGE(?checkField,'On')
CHANGE(?checkField,'Off')

The Checkbox knows which is true\false -- its set in the window
properties...

That was kinda my point. She needed to check if they were set.

Isn't that too many strikes to hit? If you have set I.e variable
MyCheckBox for CheckBox control I go with the folowing:

MyCheckBox = 1 Or MyCheckBox = 0
Display()

PLEASE, why can't I use MyCheckBox = NOT MyCheckBox !!!!!!!!!!!!

Rgds,
Ville

Try changing the value of the variable.
