Im doing a small gui that has checkboxes and i want it to write to an ini file if the box state is changed so i came up with this

While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $Button_1
                    ; Stuff to add here
            Case $MainCheckbox1
                If GUICtrlRead($MainCheckbox1) <> '' Then
                    Local $CheckTest1 = GUICtrlGetState($MainCheckbox1)
                    ConsoleWrite($CheckTest1 & @CRLF) ; 80 ?
                    If $CheckTest1 = 1 Then
                        IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "1")
                    ElseIf $CheckTest1 = 0 Then
                        IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "0")
                    EndIf
                EndIf
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

but for some reason when i check the checkbox it returns 80 ? when i was expecting 1

and it gives the same number if i clear the checkbox

any suggestions plz?

ps ive been staring at this for a while now so it might just be code lag thats stopping me from seeing the obvious

Chimaera,

Why are you using GUICtrlGetState? To check if a checkbox is checked/unchecked just use GUICtrlRead. The whole thing could be simplified to:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
$cMainCheckbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Test", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cMainCheckbox1
            If GUICtrlRead($cMainCheckbox1) = 1 Then
                ConsoleWrite("Checked" & @CRLF)
                ;IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "1")
            Else
                ConsoleWrite("Unchecked" & @CRLF)
                ;IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "0")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch
WEnd

You see i knew it was something daft im doing

Amended to this now

Case $MainCheckbox1
                If GUICtrlRead($MainCheckbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
                    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "1")
                Else
                    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", "0")
                EndIf

Should you write the state?  Such as:

If GUICtrlRead($MainCheckbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", $gui_checked)
Else
    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "gui", "g1", $gui_unchecked)
EndIf

I've seen a read checkbox return 1 for checked and 4 for unchecked

Just to add, variables inside loops should be declared outside, as this can affect performance of the script.
