I don't understand... how do I then complete the assignment statement?

If I have:

self.checkbox1 = xrc.XRCCTRL(self.panel01, 'Checkbox1')
.
.
.
self.checkbox25 = xrc.XRCCTRL(self.panel01, 'Checkbox25')

using your method, wouldn't I still need to figure out my original
question?

If I have a list of checkboxes, then I'll have:

checkboxes = [checkbox1, checkbox2 ... checkbox25]

in which case I'd still need to figure out how to get the variable at
the end of checkbox to do the rest of the "=" statement.

Or am I missing something?

(I'm guessing that's likely!)

Thanks.
