CheckBoxes in setup

BoudewijnEctor

Hi, How can I evaluate the value of checkbox called "check1" (or something like it), in my setup project, if the box is checked, I need to place a shortcut on the desktop! Thanks!

If this is MFC, use CButton::GetCheck(). Otherwise, send a BM_GETCHECK message to the control.

OK, but this isn't MFC --> this is a SETUP project! As far is I know this one has nothing to do with MFC (or am I wrong?)

David Crow

Well, since your question was posted in the VC++ forum, it was assumed to be a VC++ question or an MFC question.

That's right, but where do I have to place my question (I don't know!)?

My first thought would be in a forum specializing in the language in which your setup application is written.

Okay, I've written my application in mfc c++, but what has that to do with my setup project? I jsut need an answer for the development projects, not for mfc!

The fact that you are writing a setup project (it could be a game, an accounting package, a printer driver, etc) is irrelevant. You wanted to know how to "evaluate the value" of a checkbox and I provided you with two options. If those answers are not right for your situation, perhaps you should rethink your initial question.
