GUI & Checkbox

I want to use a checkbox in my GUI, but it won't save it state. When I check the box, it is unchecked when I reopen the GUI. Do I have to use a coldlink or something?

Yes, using a coldlink works well. Here's an example of a checkbox in a GUI that's coldlinked to a Global Table value.

Phil, thanks for your reply. I thought I could use the command "getchecked" in an if statement with out saving the state in a global table. But it works with a coldlink as you showed me with your small model.

You can use getchecked() and setchecked() in an if() statement if that's what you want to do.

You can also coldlink it to whatever node you want. I was just using a Global Table value for an example. The Parameters page of a queue shows a good example of a coldlinked variable on the Lifo checkbox.

You can look at examples of GUI development by right clicking on most windows and going to View > Explore Structure.

The path "@>objectfocus+>variables/lifo" is slightly complicated. The '@' symbol goes to the ownerview(). '>' dives into object data. '+' executes a string variable as a path and returns the node that it points to. (In this example, the ownerview's objectfocus is a path pointing to a certain queue.)

Hopefully this helps for whatever it is you are trying to do.
