[iLogic] Create a Check Box List

Hello!

 

I want to create a Check Box List in iLogic, to complement a 200 lines rule I already have in place.

Pretty much like the "InputRadioBox", but each check returns a boolean for that option:

Before, our rule went thru all steps, including unnecessary ones.

Right now, we have message boxes with "Yes/No/Cancel" at different stages.

But I want to create a check list at the start, so I can check all parts that I want to run in that code.

 

I came across this article about CheckedListBox Class, but I can't quite implement it outright as is, and I don't know to much about .NET, only the iLogic language...

 

Any tips?

Thank you!

Here is the working form from that sample. It just needed a few tweeks. It hopefully will be a good starting point for you. 

  1. Add Reference "System.Drawing"
  2. Add "Systems.Windows.Form" in front of Application
  3. Comment <StaThread()> , Unsure of this purpose maybe someone else can share their knowledge.
