True/False Returned Values

Post by BobDDstryr » Wed Dec 15, 2010 9:25 pm

True/False aren't equivalent from different functions.

If I have a dialog, with a checkbox,

Dialog>Prompt
.
.
Checkbox=fresh,Fresh,200,140,100,FALSE
EndDialog>OS_Prompt

After showing the Dialog, the value for fresh will either be set to True or False (not all capital letters that I entered for the default - but with only the first letter capitalized)

However, using the Assigned function:
Assigned>fresh, fresh_set
messagemodal>%fresh_set%

false_set will be either TRUE or FALSE

So, since True != TRUE and False != FALSE, I either need to add Uppercase> to results returned by the dialog - or keep track of if the value was set by Assigned or the dialog. It would be nice to have a standard for True/False that all of the provided functions use.
