GUICtrlRead can't work for checkbox

[netnet227]

I have an external program, i tried to use GUICtrlRead to get its checkbox state:

Debug("aaaaaaaaaaa:" & GuiCtrlGetState("TCheckBox2"))

Debug("bbbbbbbbbbb:" & $GUI_UNCHECKED)

Debug("ccccccccccc:" & $GUI_CHECKED)

If BitAND(GUICtrlRead("TCheckBox2"),$GUI_UNCHECKED)=$GUI_UNCHECKED Then

Debug("checking the checkbox");

GUICtrlSetState("TCheckBox2", $GUI_CHECKED)

EndIf

but i found whatever the state it is, it always get 0 which is not right.

i checked the forumn, most of the post is about the "autoit created" control.

i believe autoit can read EXTERNAL control as well, but how?

Looks like you are trying to set/read the status of an external GUIs Checkbox control?

Check the ControlCommand() in the Helpfile for that.
