Keywords: checkbox
If you type a minus sign does it clear. If you type a - sign, does that uncheck it, and if you type + sign does that check it?
If you need it unchecked, you don't really need to know the state is in. Rather, you can make sure you set it to unchecked.
On *most* checkboxes, changing the focus to it and then typing a minus sign will clear the checkbox no matter what its state is.
Let's say your checkbox name has an underline character like C (in which case the hotkey ALT-C can take you to the checkbox).
;To toggle the checkbox SendKey("!c") ;To Always check the box SendKey("!c{+}") ; note the curly braces around the plus sign ;To Always clear the box SendKey("!c-")Note that sending the box a + will always set it and a - will always clear it. A space will toggle it. These are very badly documented keystrokes that Windows actually recognize.
Note: Some applications require that you send the plus (+) or minus (-) key from the numeric portion of your keyboard. To send those keys:
+ on numeric keypad {NUMPAD+} - on numeric keypad {NUMPAD-}Use:
Sendkeysto("yourwindowname", "{NUMPAD+}")and/or:
Sendkeysto("yourwindowname", "{NUMPAD-}")
