Default Formula field syntax for testing check box

I want to test the state of a checkbox to determine total price. i.e., if
check box = true then "50". I cannot find any info on how to properly place
that in a formula field. I thought it would be something like ${if { REF
check_box } = true "50" "0" } but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions for
me?

Default Formula field syntax for testing check box

Hi ?B?RGF2ZQ==?=,

I want to test the state of a checkbox to determine total price. i.e., if
check box = true then "50". I cannot find any info on how to properly place
that in a formula field. I thought it would be something like ${if { REF
check_box } = true "50" "0" } but nothing seems to work

It is not possible to test the state of a checkbox form field (or Activex
control) using another field. It can only be done with a macro.
