Sample Code

The following code in the CheckBox's Action event handler checks the value of the CheckBox:

If CheckBox1.Value Then
TextField1.Value = "True"
Else
TextField1.Value = "False"
End If

Because Checkbox is a three-state control, you can use the VisualState property to get and set its value. The CheckBox.VisualStates Enumeration is designed to get and set the values.

The following code sets the VisualState property of a CheckBox to Indeterminate.

CheckBox1.VisualState = CheckBox.VisualStates.Indeterminate

Because VisualState is an Enumeration, you cannot use the corresponding Integer value for comparison. The following code shows how to use State in a Select Case statement:

Select Case CheckBox1.VisualState
Case CheckBox.VisualStates.Unchecked
// The CheckBox is unchecked

Case CheckBox.VisualStates.Checked
// The CheckBox is checked

Case CheckBox.VisualStates.Indeterminate
// The CheckBox state is indeterminate

End Select

See the entries for VisualState and Value for additional examples of setting and getting CheckBox values. See also the CheckBox.VisualStates Enumeration.
