checkbox not updating in the Rollout correctly?

[Anonymous]

Quick Question...

If I have a checkbox in a rollout with a button that is pressed, which is designed to invert the state of the checkbox no matter whether the checkbox is ticked ON or OFF, why does the following code not work?

on SelectInvert pressed do
(
if cb_wrl.state = true then
(
cb_wrl.checked = false
)
else cb_wrl.checked = true
)

Thanks,

Mike

Because with if statements you should use the compare operator == and not the assign operator =

on SelectInvert pressed do
(
   if cb_wrl.state == true then    -- can also be "if cb_wrl.state then etc..."
      cb_wrl.checked = false
   else 
      cb_wrl.checked = true
)

also note that .state and .checked are basically the same thing. You should use one or the other in your script to make it more readable (i suggest using "checked" as "state" is too much like "triState")

I agree 🙂

According to the Help, the TriState property is the only one (of the 3) which says "Get/Set" so use that.
0=unchecked, 1=checked, 2=indeterminate (grey/checked).
