Checked?

[RascaPR]

How can I have a checkbox automatically be in a checked state when the form loads?

Sounds so simple but it's eating me up!

Look at the Properties window of CheckBox for "Checked"

Hello Abdulla,

I should have explained myself a bit better.

I want it to appear checked with an IF statement. For example:

        private void Login_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (exists == true)
            {
               CODE HERE TO MAKE CHECKBOX APPEAR AS CHECKED
            }
        }

What is exist?

basically you can say

chkInfo.Checked = exists;

Checked is also a property of a checkbox in the designer properties window. if you owant the checkbox always to be checked on startup set it there.

also, don't ever test booleans against true or false, it makes you look stupid. using

if ( exists )
{
 // ...
}

is not only more concise, it means you'll never code something like this

if ( exists = true )
{
 // ...
}

which sets exists to true and then does the conditional code whatever the previous value of the exists variable.

and no, putting the constant as the lvalue isn't acceptable either.

Ok, but how would I code it so that the check box is CHECKED, if the conditional is true? The reason why I do not make it checked via the designer properties window, is because this would make it checked all the time and I don't want that. I only want it to appear checked, IF the conditional is met.

private void Login_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 if ( exists )
 {
  checkBox1.Checked = true;
 }
}

or you could also do what JurkMonkey suggested

private void Login_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 
  checkBox1.Checked = exists ;

}
