How do I Programatically Check or Uncheck a Check Box

Former Community Member

Hello,

Could anyone help me with the code necessary to uncheck or check a checkbox on a form?  Let's say there is a button, and I want that button when clicked to automatically check a check box.  My actual goal is to have code that loops through all the checkboxes on the form, if they are checked it unchecks them and rechecks them, if they are unchecked it leaves them alone.

Thank you

if (checkBox.rawValue != 1){

     checkBox.rawValue = 1;

}

That should check the box if it isn't.  Make sure that if you changed your on/off values, though, that your script reflects that.  Setting the rawValue to 1 assumes that your on value is the default 1 and your off value is the default 0.
