UserForms - Checkbox always returning true.

Hey there, I'll preface this by saying I'm a total newb when it comes to coding and basically am learning as I go along. I've been trying to set up two forms, one basic form where one can only enter...

    Everyone who gave me your helpful responses, I solved it by realizing I was very stupid and looking at JScript and not JavaScript - I adjusted the code to be

    function DataForm_tpAdvanced_OnChange(Sender)
{
  if(UserForms.DataForm.tpAdvanced.Checked == True)
    UserForms.AdvancedForm.Show();
}

    and it works like a charm now! Thanks for all the advice and sorry for possibly wasting anyone's time!

Hi,

 

Did you try to use the solutions from these docs?

 

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-objects/specific-tasks/standard/check-box/determining-state.html

 

and see if the object you're using is on the "on_change" list.

 

"

Applies To

The event applies to the following components:

TcxButtonEdit, TcxCalcEdit, TcxCheckBox, TcxComboBox, TcxCurrencyEdit, TcxDateEdit, TcxMemo, TcxMRUEdit, TcxRadioGroup, TcxSpinEdit, TcxTextEdit, TcxTimeEdit

Thanks for your quick response! From what I understood, the "Determining a Check Box's State" article only applied to checkboxes on the site I am testing, and not to user forms.

 

The object in question is a TcxCheckBox, and I basically just copied the function from the sample User Forms.

    I think Wamboo is right that you're going to want to use the "OnChange" event for the checkbox and, in that event, check the state of the checkbox to determine activity.

      But - and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm really really new to this whole stuff - isn't that what I already showed in my code snipped in the original post?

        Yes, the code is there for an OnChange event, but I think it's an event on the form, not on the checkbox itself.
