[Gambas-user] Check Boxes (a bug?)

[John Dovey]

Thank you for laying it out for me. For some reason I got all tongue tied.
You describe my problem exactly.
I see Benoit indicates that this is expected behaviour. I’ve worked through
it twenty times and I can’t figure it out. Part of it is possibly my
confusion over what a click event it. I made the, probably incorrect,
assumption it would only trigger with an actual mouseclick, which is why I
first looked for a _changed event, like in the text boxes.
I’ll look at it again, relaxing “click” with “change” mentally and see if
it makes more sense to me.

All the best
John
