Creates a control in the current active form, window, or dialog.
AutoCheckBox text$, id%, x, y, w, h[, style%]
text$:control text
id%:control identifier
x,y,w,h:iexp
style%:the control styles
The AutoCheckBox statement creates an automatic check box control. The control is a small rectangle (check box) that has the specified text displayed next to it (typically, to the right). When the user chooses the control, the control highlights the rectangle and sends a message to its parent window.
style Specifies the styles of the control. This value can be a combination of the button class style BS_AUTOCHECKBOX and the WS_TABSTOP and WS_GROUP styles. If you do not specify a style, the default style is BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_TABSTOP.
Creates a control without an OCX wrapper; so it and cannot be handled using properties, methods, and event subs. When used in a form the WM_COMMAND and WM_NOTIFY messages should be handled in the form's _Message event sub.
See CheckBox
This command is particular useful for a dialog box in a GLL, because a GLL doesn't support OCX controls.
With the general Control statement any control type can be created.
