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

[John Dovey]

Thank you, That's helpful.
Now to make it work...

Just one quick comment. I pasted your code with the "CheckBoxGroup_Click()"
subroutine, but I named the group 'AflagsGroup". It took me a few minutes
to figure out why it wasn't working. There was no error that there was no
such event :-)
