I haven't tried this, but instead of using if @equal(@dlgtext(chk1),1) try using if @dlgtext(chk1).

That way there is probably less likely a chance of an error. Smile

Or,

%%Temp = @dlgtext(chk1)
If %%Temp

End

Sometimes, it's better to put the contents into a variable, then check the
variable.

Are you sure it is a VDSLISTS problem? It could be some bug in VDS...I've had wierder things happen such as VDS not hiding elements when I give the command DIALOG HIDE,ELEMENT...

You know, I think I had that problem in early VDS 3.x versions, but not in
3.5 or 4.5 versions.

Hi Nathan,

I just experimented with adding a checkbox into the vdslists.dsc example script and it
seemed to return the status finely. Could you please send me the full script source
code at support@vdsworld.com so that I can try to debug it?

Thanks.

Tommy

I dont see the chk2 add line there; Try checking it. Didn't you forget any parameter? Did you spell the control name correctly? Etc

I have found that when checking the status of a checkbox, using @NOT(@NULL(@DLGTEXT(chk2))) works when using @EQUAL(@DLGTEXT(chk2)) does not.

Try this...

Hm this has nothing to do with the problem, Hortalonus, but since @not and @null are EXACTLY the same command (see help file), and they both reverse the content (true to false, false to true), you can instead of using IF @not(@null(something)) use IF something . I also used if @not(@null()) until one or two months ago lol

Thanks for the help guys, I am emailing Tommy with the script to see if he can debug it.

Its strange but everything functioned perfect until i added the vdslists functions, i just wanting to improve the interface of my program.

Thanks again:)

LOL

You're right! How funny that I never picked up on that. I wonder how many unnecessary characters I typed doing it that way over the last 5 years? I swear it was in one of the example scripts that came with VDS 2.x. I just used the syntax they did.

Thanks for the tip! Smile
