Return the initial Value of a toggle box?

[dayv2005]

I was wondering how to return the initial value of a toggle box in code.

I was trying something like this. But i seem to be using the wrong attribute for a toggle box.

    DEFINE VARIABLE ch-T AS WIDGET-HANDLE  NO-UNDO.
    
    ASSIGN ch-T = t1:HANDLE.

    MESSAGE ch-T:INITIAL
        VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

Dayv, I don't know if any help but for something like this I use the CHECKED value:

MESSAGE ch-T:CHECKED VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

Yeah we just assigned a variable and then checked against it. I figured there was an easy way to do this other than using another variable. I was wrong but thanks for the advice i ended up using that to check the value. Thanks.

The initial value of a toggle-box widget is ALWAYS false by default unless alternative / custom code is used.

If you require to access an object property.
Simply follow the progress standard.
ObjectName:Attribute
eg. fillinInBox:SCREEN-VALUE
