Checked - true

[aggror]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple check condition with if and else. Although it should be easy, I can't get it to work.
this is what I have:
if(checked = true)
{
panel1.Enabled = true;
}
else
{
panel1.Enabled = false;
}

First of all, you need to put this condition to an checkbox event CheckedChanged. If you change your checkbox checked status, then it enables/disables yor panel.

private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(checkBox1.Checked)
{
panel1.Enabled = true;
}
else
{
panel1.Enabled = false;
}
}

If you want it to work when application is started then you must enable/disable your panel on form Load event or put the code


panel1.Enabled = false;


to the Form constructor.

if(checked = true)



if(checked == true)

or simply better

if(checked)

or just

panel1.Enabled = checkBox1.Checked

single equal sign - assignment
double equal sign - checks for equality

I also agree with memeloo. No real need for the if statement.

Has others has pointed out, comparation is done with ==, not =. But it could be just a typo, so it would be nice if specify the error more precisely, like it is an compile-time error (which), run-time error, or it doesn't fail. but doesn't do what it should.

okay, I've found the solution. Wasn't that hard, but when you don't know how to type it, you can be stuck for a long time..

thanks for your help
solution:

private void Checkbox1_CheckStateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
panel1.Enabled = checkBox1.Checked;
}

for the record: by "I found it", I actually ment: I tried the solution from Memelo.
