Automatic

Applies to

CheckBox and RadioButton controls

Description

When the Automatic property is enabled, the state of the control changes automatically when the user selects it. Typically, the state toggles between selected and not selected. For check boxes, if the ThreeState property has been enabled, the state of the control also toggles to a third state.

When this property is enabled, a mark is displayed in the control when the control's state is selected and no mark is displayed when the control's state is not selected. For check boxes, if the ThreeState property is enabled, a grayed out mark is displayed for the third state.

Usage

In a painter

To enable automatic state change:

  • Select the Automatic check box on the General page of the control's Properties view.

In scripts

The Automatic property takes a boolean value. This example sets a CheckBox so that its state changes each time it is selected.
