    Sorry but this is not clear for me.

     

    You want to examine the value of a checkbox

    And if the value is checked (true) then allow user to change the value.

     

    That's what you need ?

     

    To ask user to set a value you can use (quick and dirty code) :

    let checkboxValue = myWebObject.checked;
if (checkboxValue) {
  let result = MessageDlg("Choose value of the checkbox by hitting the Yes for true or No for False", mtConfirmation, MkSet(mbYes, mbNo), 0);
  myWebObject.checked = result == mrYes;
}

Hi,

 

Examine this web element in the Object Browser and figure-out what property indicates the state.

This is because web page developers can use different web elements and techniques to output something that is rendered as a check-box.
