to check the correct state of checkbox control

Hello Sir,

i want to check the value of check box control whether it is checked or not and on the basis of this want to take some actions.

i have taken a check box control and using MFC ClassWizard, i have mapped the control id value to a variable (bool).
but on the check/uncheck event of checkbox control, when i check the value of variable, it is always in false state.

How can i check the correct state of checkbox control(checked or unchecked)

Thanks and Regards

First you should map to a BOOL not a bool. (read this FAQ for the difference)

Second, how do you check for the state Can you post the code

The simplest way is like this:

bool checked = (((CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECKBOX))->GetCheck() == BST_CHECKED);

you can use GetCheck() and SetCheck() method to Get and Set Check state of a Control.and if you want you also can assure that Control is on your App with the help of IsWindowVisible() method
