How to get checkbox value from an application using Sikuli scripting

It's not that easy (no direct checkbox API), but possible, I think.

You should construct regions restricted to particular checkbox position, and then check if checkmark exists therer:

checkboxregion1 = ...
if checkboxregion1.Exists("Checkmarkimage.png"):
        checkbox1checked = True
    else:
        checkbox1checked = False

...

If you want more detailed code, please provide to me screenshot image of the checkboxes you talk about.

Hi Roman,

Scenario 1:
==========
Am trying a simple pgm to check if a checkbox is ticked or unticked. Am using 2 images(one with the checkbox ticked and other with checkbox unticked). But it is treating both as same images, i.e., not differentiating the ticked symbol present.
Code:
--------
if exists("checkboxtickedimg.png"):
    popup("yes")
elif exists("checkboxuntickedimg.png"):
   popup("no")

Whether the checkbox is ticked or unticked, it is executing only the first loop.

==============================================================================

Scenario 2:
==========

Also i tried with the region concept, I created a small region in 'Taskbar and Start menu peoperties". And trying to analyse whether the tick mark exists in the 1st checkbox, using the below code:

regi = "TaskbarStart.png"
if (regi.exists("1355735603254.png")):
    popup("ticked")
else:
    popup("unticked")

Facing the issue:
==========

 if (regi.exists("1355735603254.png")):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'exists'

Please help me out in this.

You doing it wrong.

regi = "TaskbarStart.png"

Here you just assign to regi a string value. Of course, Python thinks it's a string, so gives you error "'str' object has no attribute 'exists'"

Read more about Region - http://doc.sikuli.org/region.html#creating-a-region-setting-and-getting-attributes , and construct regi like a Region.

Something like that:

back_region = Region(0,0,70,50)
hover("xyz.png")
mouseloc = Env.getMouseLocation()
back_region.moveTo(mouseloc)

You should define region with Region(x, y, w, h), and then you may move it around to correct it's position.
