get state of a control on quit

General

  1. how do you get the state of Radio Button when your app quits.
    I will write the state, yes or no to a text file, I know how to do this.

  2. If I can learn how to GET the state of a radio button, I guess I can SET the state of a radio button when the app opens. How do you do that?

thanks for any help.

Check out the .Value property of the radio button. It’s a boolean value.

3

try doing this in CancelClose for the window
you can tell if the app is quitting as well by checking the parameter

4

both of these get the bug icon

dim q as RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value
MsgBox(q)

5

dim q as Boolean
q = Msgbox (RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value)

6

RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value is a Boolean, but MsgBox expects a String. To convert a Boolean to a String you can use the Str method:

dim q as Boolean = RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value Dim s As String = Str(q) Msgbox (s)

Assuming writing to a Pref file using a binaryStream

//write
dim b As binarystream
b.writeBoolean RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value

//read
RadioButton_autoRecallPW.value = b.readboolean
