Hello,

I have a checkbox named DCAllStats that I am trying to do something with when a user changes the status of the checkbox. Looking at the associated events, it looked like click was the proper event, so I wrote the following code as a test:


Of course, clicking on the checkbox of DCAllStats doesn't trigger the Message. (In fact, clicking on the text doesn't work either) I wrote a separate bit of code to trigger when the form itself loads, and it works just fine. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? One additional piece of information is that the checkbox is contained in a TabStrip if that makes any difference.

Thank you in advance!

You got the _Click event right but not your operators.

In gambas 2 equal signs == is ONLY used for "case insensitive string comparisons"
/cat/stringop - Gambas Documentation

So a "case insensitive string comparison" of 2 boolean values will always be False

try it using only one = sign

Thank you! Serves me right for assuming!

haha , what is it they say?   to assume makes an ass of u and me  

You're welcome

It's an easy mistake to make when you are used to another languages syntax.

I'd have a good read of the topics on this page  Gambas wiki language overview Just to familiarize yourself of some differences in gambas to whatever you are used to.

We are always happy to help here too if you get stuck

Code

Public Sub DCAllStats_Click()
  If DCAllStats.Value == True Then
    Message("True")
  Endif
  If DCAllStats.Value == False Then
    Message("False")
  Endif
End

If you want, for the sake of brevity, you can do :? that as well:
