    Hello,

     Refer to https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/exploring-apps/object-spy/index.html for using Spy. Inspect Spy object detection to look for a property that checks the sate, for example enabled=true. Yo may need to switch the view from basic to advanced view.

    You need to address it in two steps:
    1-The checkbox row, as you have 5 you need to have 5 different mappings one for each
    2-The checkbox state enabled or disabled added to detection properties 

    You could create KeywordTests with following simple logic:
    If checkbox1 property enabled equal true, click it and go to Label
    If checkbox2 property enabled equal true, click it and go to Label
    If checkbox4 property enabled equal true, click it and go to Label
    If checkbox5 property enabled equal true, click it
    Label

I was thinking the same yesterday, at the end of the day the scripts makes your test go easier and fluent I guess. 

I'm gonna do some research and start with little footsteps bc as Hassan_Ballan said I'm new to code and those things, so starting simple is the way I like.

Thank u so much for ur answer and time.

I envision you can do it by using a single mapping to be used for all checkboxes that always find the first enabled checkbox no matter how long is the list.

For below examples: In browser change checkbox state, in the TestComplete NameMapping make edits and use the buttons Refresh and Highlight to validate

1-https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_checkbox_checked2 demonstrate checkbox checked and unchecked
change the name mapping selector to CSS and set value to
input:not(:checked)[type='checkbox']

2-https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_checkbox_disabled2 demonstrate checkbox enabled and disabled
change the name mapping selector to CSS and set value to
input:not(:disabled)[type='checkbox']
