DlgValue (function)

Syntax DlgValue (ControlName$ | ControlIndex)
Description Returns an Integer indicating the value of the specified control.
Comments The value of any given control depends on its type, according to the following table:
Control Type DlgValue Returns
Option group The index of the selected option button within the group (0 is the first option button, 1 is the second, and so on).
List box The index of the selected item.
Drop list box The index of the selected item.
Check box 1 if the check box is checked; 0 otherwise.
A runtime error is generated if DlgValue is used with controls other than those listed in the above table. The ControlName$ parameter contains the name of the .Identifier parameter associated with a control in the dialog box template. Alternatively, by specifying the ControlIndex parameter, a control can be referred to using its index in the dialog box template (0 is the first control in the template, 1 is the second, and so on).
Example This code fragment toggles the value of a check box. 
Sub Main()
  If DlgValue("MyCheckBox") = 1 Then
    DlgValue "MyCheckBox",0
  Else
    DlgValue "MyCheckBox",1
  End If
End Sub
