That is the same stuff that I do. Though mine looks like this, but I
probably don't need to set them to 0..
if (PrefsR->ApptPrefs.weekstart == '1')
CtlSetValue(FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,
checkboxID_apptprefsweekstart)), 1);
else CtlSetValue(FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,
checkboxID_apptprefsweekstart)), 0);
I do it before the FrmDrawForm in the frmOpenEvent just like you. I'm
guessing that it is a problem in another case within your form handler
function -- like a missing break statement. Try snipping some stuff out of
it until it starts working.
