How to see if an MFC checkbox is selected
c++, checkbox, mfc
Solution
CButton's GetState gets the current state of the dialog object. What you want to be using is CButton's GetCheck.
Alternatively, you can, as indicated on MSDN, do a bitwise mask on the return value to get the current Check state - but GetCheck is right there, so you might as well use it.
Problem
I have checked many places for the answer to this, and they recommend the way I have done it, but it doesn't seem to work for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a check box and I would like it to enable an edit box when it is check and disable it when unchecked. The following code is what I have created: ``` void CMFCApplication1Dlg::OnBnClickedCheck1() { UINT nCheck = CheckBox.GetState(); if (nCheck == BST_CHECKED) { EditBox.EnableWindow(TRUE); } else if (nCheck == BST_UNCHECKED) { EditBox.EnableWindow(FALSE); } else { EditBox.EnableWindow(TRUE); } ``` nCheck is 520 when I run it in debug, so goes straight to the else option. Many thanks
