How do I tick a check box through code?

[mistermentality]

I have a check box that I need to tick or untick based on a users saved preferences read from a map but cannot seem to figure it out.

I have tried

If Map1.Get("autosearch") = "True" Then CheckBox1_autosearchnet.Checked

Where CheckBox1_autosearchnet is the check box name.Have tried other variations too such as

If Map1.Get("autosearch") = "True" Then CheckBox1_autosearchnet.Checked = True

but without success. Unfortunately I am still new to B4A and never used a language that had check boxes before so can someone please tell me what I have done wrong?

Thanks.

I just added a checkbox called Checkbox1 to my test program, and put

Checkbox1.Checked = Not (Checkbox1.Checked)

in a button_Click event and it worked just fine - everytime I clicked the button the checkbox changed state.

There must be something else going on in your code - I would suspect that the Map1.Get("autosearch") is not returning the value you think it is.
Do you get an error or does it just not work.

Oh, and not to forget

Dim CheckBox1 As CheckBox

in Globals.

Thank you

I don't know why but the variables stored are Booleans and so either True or False yet were stored in lower case. I was checking for "True" not "true".

Changed it to save not the Boolean value but "enabled" or "disabled" and that turned out to be the problem.

Don't check Booleans against String values, use the True and False keywords.
