I'm able to use the UIClick to toggle a checkbox, but I'm not able to get the value of the checkbox. I've tried GetCheckBox (returns -1) tried UIGetValue (always returns 0). I can focus the checkbox, but I don't know how to use what is returned from that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Checkbox difficulty
Not all check boxes work as expected in this way and you may not be able to get a value.
If you can't determine what state the checkbox will be in at the outset (often with automation it will always start with a known state) then I would recommend using Image Recognition to determine whether it is checked or not. Capture it in one or other state, then if found, it's in that state, if not found, it's not.
Or consider GetPixelColor to test the color of a pixel within the checkbox area.
