I am trying to write some code to determine whether or not my checkbox is ticked, I am aware I can write something like to change its state to checked
checkbox.setSelected(true);But I want to write something along the lines of
if(checkbox.setSelected(true)){write login-username to config file} else {clear the config file}How would I go about doing this? I've been trauling through Oracle documentation but have yet to find anything useful
thanks.

you could use .isSelected() to find out if the checkbox is Ticked.
if(checkbox.isSelected()){write login-username to config file} else {clear the config file}Have you tried registering a listener to the "selected" property of the checkbox?It would look something like this:
yourCheckbox.selectedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {@Overridepublic void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue) {// TODO Auto-generated method stubif(newValue){// your checkbox has been ticked. // write login-username to config file}else{// your checkbox has been unticked. do stuff...// clear the config file}}});
