I offered him a cookie. We'll see how that works. I might have to add a glass of milk...

You want Gary, or Kat?

M$ rarely uses standard checkboxes in the controls.

try looking at: _GUICtrlTreeView_SetStateImageIndex and _GUICtrlTreeView_GetStateImageIndex

Thanks for the assistance there. The examples in the helpfile didn't give me much information, but below is what I finally figured out would work.

$h_TreeView = ControlGetHandle("Customize Classic Start Menu", "", "SysTreeView321")
    $h_Item = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($h_TreeView, "Use Personalized Menus")
    _GUICtrlTreeView_SetImageIndex($h_TreeView, $h_Item, True) ; UnCheck
    _GUICtrlTreeView_SetImageIndex($h_TreeView, $h_Item, False) ; Check

Also, you will notice "true" makes it uncheck, and "false" makes it check. Doesn't make much sense, but it works.

Thanks,

Jarvis

The third parameter is not supposed to be a boolean True/False, but a 0-based index. When AutoIt expects an integer and gets something else, there is often a conversion by Number(). For example:

$Var = True
ConsoleWrite("$Var = " & $Var & @LF)
$Var = Number($Var)
ConsoleWrite("$Var = " & $Var & @LF)

$Var = False
ConsoleWrite("$Var = " & $Var & @LF)
$Var = Number($Var)
ConsoleWrite("$Var = " & $Var & @LF)

You are getting index = 1 for 'True' and index = 0 for 'False'. These just happen to match the uncheck and check images you want. If the required indexes were 3 and 4 that wouldn't have worked. So you can make that:

_GUICtrlTreeView_SetImageIndex($h_TreeView, $h_Item, 1); UnCheck
    _GUICtrlTreeView_SetImageIndex($h_TreeView, $h_Item, 0); Check
