radio buttons and checkboxes!

I know how to create radio buttons and check boxes, but I need to know....


How can you tell whether they are checked or not?


I know i can have a boolean variable, and wait for the WM_COMMAND message, and set that variable to true. or false when one is checked... but is there a better way?


Thanks,
Dennis

If your window is a dialog then you can use this:

if (LOWORD(wParam)==IDC_CHECK1)
{
        if(IsDlgButtonChecked(hDlg,IDC_CHECK1)==BST_CHECKED)
	    {
            //do something
	    }
         else 
	    {
            //do something
	    }
}

it's not a dialog.. it's made with CreateWindowEx(),

thanks anyway, but I think I am going to go with the way I was originally going to.

My way worked fine... but incase any of you are wondering...
there is a better way to do it.

int res = SendMessage(hWnd,BM_GETCHECK, 0, 0);

return values
BST_CHECKED = 1
BST_INDETERMINATE = 2
BST_UNCHECKED = 0
