I am attempting to hide/show controls in a gui-based script, based upon a checkbox/radio button control; i.e., if a checkbox/radio button is checked on one tab, it will "unhide"/show the gui controls on other tabs.
I have the read/write of the checkbox/radio button controls to an .ini file worked out, thanks to the assistance of Boiler in a separate thread. I am, thanks to his/her assistance, able to save the checkbox/radio button/edit box control contents to an .ini file successfully, as well as read them when the script is run. Additionally, I am able to toggle the hidden controls on and off successfully when the script is running... however, when I close the script and rerun it, the hidden controls are hidden, despite the control type being checked.
I've cobbled a proof-of-concept script together using examples from the various threads that I could find that related to my need, please find the code enclosed below. I try to use simple proof-of-concept scripts so that I can understand what the various moving parts are actually doing before I incorporate them into more complex projects. I'd also like to thank those forum members (I can't remember whose scripts I bastardized; if you recognize your code in my test script, THANK YOU!!!).
The "More Options" checkbox in the script toggles and hides/shows the four hidden checkboxes below it. I am able to save the checkbox values for all the checkboxes in the script, but when I reload/close and re-open the script, the hidden checkboxes are default hidden, despite the "More Options" and the hidden checkboxes being checked. I'd like them to stay open/shown, if the "More Options" checkbox is ticked. I've looked at this until I'm cross-eyed. What am I missing? Any assistance is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Best Regards,
