[comp.windows.ms] Check Box selection shortcut?

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (06/07/91)

Is there any keyboard selection shortcut that allows you to set (or
unset) a check box without regard for how it was set before (i.e., not
toggle, but set).

For example, I want to write a batch file that opens a dialog box sets
a check box (without knowing if its currently set or not), then sends
an OK.  My problem is that the <space bar> shortcut just toggles it.
I need to *know* that I just turned it on, not flipped it.

Conversely, is there any DDE-known way to query the status of check
boxes in a dialog?

Thnaks,

jas
