You can insert controls such as check boxes to make data entry easier. Check boxes work well for dialogs with multiple options.

syntaxSyntax:
DlxDialog.AddCheckBox(x, y, width, text, checked)

Parameters

Parameter Description
x The horizontal position in which to position the upper left corner of the control.
y The vertical position in which to position the upper left corner of the control.
width The width of the control in pixels.
text The text to be placed in the control.
checked Specify true if the control must be checked when the dialog box is started, otherwise specify false.

Return Value

The last newly created DlxDialogControl object. Call the IsValid() method to determine if the object was created correctly.

Remarks

When the dialog box is closed, you can read the status of the control using the GetInt() method.
