I have an application that has a checkbox with a CLICK event when it is checked. Sometimes the appliacation needs to set the checkbox as checked, but I don't want the event to fire. Right now it does.

Is there a way to set the checkbox without firing an event?

I saw this forum topic, don't know if this is close to what I need or not:

One thought: is there a way to remove the CLICK style, set the checkbox, then re-apply the CLICK style?

Thanks for any help.

FreezingFire's API works at my PC Smile

I've tested it with a checkbox with CLICK style...

And re-applying the CLICK style would result in a flashing dialog, because you'll have to remove and add the checkbox again Confused

Regards,
Vic

Thanks for the reply. I guess I can figure out his example and how to apply it to my program. If it doesn't fire the CLICK event, then it should be just what I need.

You should be able to "throw away" the event after you set your check box.

Something like:

True. Didn't think of that Tommy.

Hey - that's an even simpler idea. Thanks. I'll try it out.
