Longwindow in button class

I have an object which is recognized as Mdsbuttin class but us a checkbox. In unable to capture the current state of the checkbox. Developer says he sets the longwindow property to identify checked or not.  How can we capture the current state of the checkbox

    Could you please try this?

    x = Win32API.GetWindowLong(button_m.Handle, 7*4)

    (using 4 instead of 8 as the multiplier)

    Hi!

     

    That all sounds weird. Can you provide a screenshot of your element and how it presents in Object Browser?

      This is how the properties look like.

      this is developer's code to identify

      SetWindowLong( hwndTmp, STATE_FLAGS_INDEX * sizeof( unsigned long ), BST_UNCHECKED );

      that's the Set

      and the get it uses return( GetWindowLong( hWndBtn, STATE_FLAGS_INDEX * sizeof( unsigned long ) ) );

       

      Any help is highly appreciated

        Hi,

         

        Try adding MdsButtonClass to the Win32 check box classes in your project's Object Mapping settings. This should add the wState property to get or set the check box state. Let us know if this works.

         

        Steps:

        1. Double-click the project in the Project Explorer.
        2. Switch to Properties.
        3. Select Object Mapping.
        4. Expand "Win32 Controls and Windows > Check box".
        5. Add MdsButtonClass to the list.
        6. Save the project.
        7. Refresh the object in the Object Browser.
