    Checkboxes not Checking?

    I have a dialog box with a check box
    When the user clicks on the checkbox, it does not check. Why? I noticed that if I make the code check a different checkbox than the one thats being clicked, it works
    Here is my dialog code
    Code:
    HWND Signon;
    BOOL CALLBACK SomeDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
    {
        switch(Message)
        {
            case WM_COMMAND:
                switch(LOWORD(wParam))
                {
                    case IDC_CHK_AUTO:
                    {
                        SendDlgItemMessage(Signon, IDC_CHK_AUTO, BM_SETCHECK, BST_CHECKED, 0);
                        break;
                    }
                    case WM_CLOSE:
                    case WM_DESTROY:
                        DestroyWindow(Signon);
                        break;
                }
            break;
            default:
                return FALSE;
        }
        return TRUE;
    }

    Tried it and didn't work

    I should probably add that my control resource thing is this:
    Code:
      CHECKBOX "Auto", IDC_CHK_AUTO, 6,49,150,9

    Use the BS_AUTOCHECKBOX style.
    Code:
      CHECKBOX "Auto", IDC_CHK_AUTO, 6,49,150,9, BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_TABSTOP
