1. check box bug?
I don't know where the topica message went to but here's it directly.
I'm running win32lib 59.1 and the check boxes have a "yes" or "no" to the
right of them if the box has a check or not. If I setCheck(abox, True)
under program control (w/o tabbing to it and toggle with the space
bar) the "no" remains beside the box, eventhough it is checked. Is there
something else I need to do to get it to display "yes"??

George,
If I understand what you are asking correctly, you might try returning
control back to windows to allow it to process any messages, and if that
don't work maybe repainting the window after clicking the box.
In the onClick routine for the check box.
doEvents(0)
The doEvents uses a control ID where 0 is all controls, you can limit this
to just one control by using that controls ID.
If that don't work you could also try this.
repaintWindow( WindowName )
Where WindowName is the name of the window the check box control is on.
Maybe that will resolve the problem.
Later.

Sorry about that, you said if you set it in the program, so it should not
be in the click event, but right after you set it in the program, like this:
setCheck(abox, True)
doEvents(0)

Well, you got me thinking. The doEvents(0) did not do the trick. However
I found a solution
setCheck(cBox, True)
setText(cBox,"Yes") <<< this fixed it
did the trick....

George,
It was worth a try anyway, I just recently started to reaquaint myself with
Euphoria and win32lib after a 2 year hiatus. Some times I tend to get my
languages mixed up, where I work they program in VB6, and I know that what
I was thinking is a lot of times when you set the caption of a label at
run-time it does not show up on the form, you have to put a doEvents in
the code right after you set the label caption so that windows will process
any backed up messages and do a repaint of the form.
That must of been what I was thinking about. Glad that at least I got you
to thinking, so you could solve the problem.
Later.

A checkbox control has two properties - checked-state and text. These
are independant of each other. Setting one does not effect the other.
So if the user or your program sets the check-state, you also have to
set the text state appropriately. This makes some sense because the
text may not always be "yes" an "no" in some applications.
There is a setChecked() and a setText() routine to cater for this
requirement.
