CheckBox Help

[Artimidrous121]

ok so i have created checkboxes In XML using this code

<CheckButton name="HealthBarCheckbox" inherits="UICheckButtonTemplate" enableMouse="true" text="Health Bar (Reload Is Required)">
<Size>
	<AbsDimension x="33" y="31" />
</Size>
<Anchors>
	<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="$parent">
<Offset>
	<AbsDimension x="20" y="-40" />
</Offset>
</Anchor>
</Anchors>
<Scripts>
		<OnClick>HealthBarCheckbox_OnClick();</OnClick>
</Scripts>
		<HighlightColor r="0.72" g="0.53" b="0.04" />
</CheckButton>

the function listed here is below if that is necessary

function HealthBarCheckbox_OnClick()

if( select(4, GetAddOnInfo("MerlinsUI_HPBar")) ) then
DisableAddOn("MerlinsUI_HPBar")
MerlinsUIRelaodAlert:Show();
else
EnableAddOn("MerlinsUI_HPBar")
MerlinsUIRelaodAlert:Show();
end

end

now My question is when the addon is enabled how to i change the graphic for the checkbox to be checked by default?

for example if addon is enabled then the box is checked even after a ui reload but if it is disabled the box is not checked.

Thanks in advance

Without seeing more code it's hard to say exactly where to put stuff. But you probably need to use SavedVariables to keep track of the state of the button. Then when you're addon loads you check if the box should be checked and then call :SetChecked(true) on the button.
