CheckBox in Win32

-----------------------------------

I'm trying to use a checkbox, but I'm not sure how to check if the box has been checked or not.  Can anyone here help me?

how are you implementing the checkbox? If you're using MFC, its quite easy. right click, and setaction or something.

I'm using Win32.  So I have a resource file that creates the checkbox and Now I just need to know whether it's being checked or not.  I'm guessing it's some sort of message.. I'm not sure.  I feel like I should know this but it's not coming to me.

Ok I figured it out:


if (SendMessage(dev3cb, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) == BST_CHECKED)
				view = CreateDialog (hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_VIEW), hWndDlg, reinterpret_cast(DlgViewProc));

Basically SendMessage(dev3cb, BM_GETSTATE,0,0) returns BST_CHECKED, BST_UNCHECKED, or some other values I'm not worried about.
