Re: How to change the value of Boolean variable?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

There is no correct or perfect way but in this case I would probably just
store a Bit value to determine if Bold is set.

In the ini file I would store:
ButtonsFontType = 0
--or--
ButtonsFontType = 1

Then evaluate that value to set the bold of your command buttons.
