I know that identifying a simple listBox item was fixed with an earlier
version of the toolkit.
This example from the manual does work:
' This example creates a simple dialog with a sorted list box of three
items,
' along with custom default ' and cancel buttons, and returns a string
of the
' data associated with the selected item.
Dim myHotkey : Set myHotkey =
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Alt-Control-Shift-I","DisplayListBox")
Function DisplayListBox()
Set myListBox = SharedObjects("com.GWMicro.GwToolkit.SimpleDialogs",
90000).ListBoxDialog
myListBox.AddItem "Red", "Red"
myListBox.AddItem "Green", "Green"
myListBox.AddItem "Blue", "Blue"
myListBox.Sort = True
myListBox.DefaultButton = "&Ok"
myListBox.CancelButton = "Close"
Dim returnValue : returnValue = myListBox.ChooseItem("Select a color")
Sleep 3000
Speak ReturnValue
Sleep 2000
' If the green item was selected with the OK button,
' speak would announce, "Green."
End Function
This may not be the problem you are considering, but I know this one was
fixed.

Subject: to GW; was Text from a Menu
Hello GW,
this reminds me: some versions back I was trying to do this kind of
thing to see which choice of a listbox was the selected one, and this
wasn't working, and was confirmed as a bug in WE. I think it wasn't
working in either the listbox control structure or the accessible info.
Can you tell me if seeing which choice is the selected one in a listbox
is now possible?
thanks.
Chip

J.J.,
If you're looking at the menu through MSAA, you might test for something
like:
Set accObj = FocusedWindow.Accessible ' Assuming the focused window is a
menu, set the accObj variable to hold the Accessible representation of
the focused item.
If accObj.State = state_SYSTEM_CHECKED Then
' item is checked.
Else
' It isn't.
End If
Hope this helps.

Hello. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction
of how to obtain the state of a checkbox that's inside of a standard

apparently not hard enough.
Thanks.
