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!

I just tested a few other alternatives, and I came to the conclusion that the "Checked"-call returns the correct case, but if used in an if-statement always defaults to true.

 

I wrote the following little script:

function AdvancedForm_apTestButton_OnClick(Sender)
{
    if (UserForms.AdvancedForm.apAdvancedResults.Checked)
      ShowMessage("1")
    else
      ShowMessage("2");
    Log.Message("Checked = " + aqConvert.VarToStr(UserForms.AdvancedForm.apAdvancedResults.Checked));  
}

No matter whether the checkbox is checked or unchecked, it always shows "1", however, the state of the checkbox is successfully and correctly logged.

Hi,

 

Is this check-box two- or three-states one? (I.e. can it be 'greyed'?)

What if you try

if (aqConvert.VarToBool(UserForms.AdvancedForm.apAdvancedResults.Checked))?
