Access radio button, check boxes value

Post by pareshbhurke » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:39 pm

Hi there,

I am trying to read valued from controls present on windows form. I could get the information from Textbox, Button, Labels and dropdown etc.

But How to get values from Radio button or checkboxes? It is not showing up in "View system windows".
Even OCR approach does not help in this.

Please help!

Thanks for that help. Since you have not answered solution for Radio button, is it so that its not possible to fetch values from Radio button?

Please help!

The answer is the same for checkboxes and radio buttons. Use the GetCheckBox command. From the help file:

GetCheckBox determines whether or not the given check box, or radio button, is checked.

While in Macro Scheduler hit the F1 key. You'll find a wealth of information appear before your eyes :-)

Hi,
I am sorry as I posted the note before referring to Help. From made assumptions by looking at the command name.
Anyway, I am trying following commands for accessing values from .NET windows forms application but its returning 0 though one radio button and 1 checkbox is already checked.

//Radio Button
CBX>%wtitle%,Yes,res
MessageModal>res
CBX>%wtitle%,No,res
MessageModal>res
//Checkbox
CBX>%wtitle%,Reading,res
MessageModal>res
CBX>%wtitle%,Cricket,res
MessageModal>res

Regards,

Paresh

Can you show us a screen shot of the window with the checkboxes/radio buttons?

When you hit the ALT key does one of the characters in the checkbox/radio button caption become underlined?
