Setting xdialog checkbox value at initiation

[Mike Wilson]

I have searched and played and can't come up with how to get the checkboxes checked (array variable=.t.) when the xdialog opens. I have a table that holds the stages of a Project with a field for whether the stage is complete or not (third value in the line list). I pull the stages for the Project into a list variable and am trying to populate an xdialog from that list with the checkbox checked if the value is "True". Can someone please steer me in the right direction. Thanks

Re: Setting xdialog checkbox value at initiation

The check boxes are marked by including them in the list for the variable vLshow

Work on this from another perspective to see what you need to do.

Mark some of the check boxes and use debug(1) or trace to watch the changes in the variable vLshow

Then you'll know what to do with the values and what the values should be.

This does not involve setting a logical to .t.

You may get some additional insight from this thread..

Al. I didn't think about using debug(). Thanks

Gabe, Thank you, I thought I tried that but must not have. It's been a very hard week for me!

Re: Setting xdialog checkbox value at initiation

Gabe,
When I run this fresh in IW, it seems to operates correctly with the checkboxes that are checked showing in the bottom list. But when I close and re-run the code, it does not behave properly.

LATER:
I placed the code into a UDF and it runs fine. The erratic behavior is only when repeat runs are performed in the IW
