MFC Check Box

[Freddie Code]

How do you check if a check box has been checked? I created a check box named IDC_checkbox and assigned a member variable of type Value named m_checkBox.

There's a member method called GetCheck. It returns a BOOL, which is an int, 0 is not checked. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

If you used Class Wizard and added a variable of type Value, it must have defined it as BOOL. When you want to check the state of the checkbox, you can call UpdateData(TRUE) and that will copy the state of the control in your variable

UpdateData(TRUE);
if (m_checkBox)
{
  // checkbox is checked
}
else
{
  // checkbox isn't checked
}

To change the state of the control, assign a new value to your variable and call UpdateData(FALSE) Note UpdateData() processes all controls that have associated "Value" variables at once. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]
