Setting Check Boxes at Startup?????

[noaaprogrammer]

I have a dialog box with an assortment of check boxes on it. When the program is run, I would like some of the check boxes to be checked when the dialog box first appears. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

I believe you set them in "OnInitDialog"

If you use the DDX (Dialog Data Exchange) mechanism, you can set the initial values of the dialog object's member variables, typically in your OnInitDialog handler or the dialog constructor. The check boxes will be checked when you show the dialog.

Thanks for the help guys. I figured it out. All it took was these simple function call in "OnInitDialog" :
CheckDlgButton(IDC_ALL , 1 );
CheckDlgButton(IDC_printer , 1 );
