Checkbox field always is 1, regardless whether checked or not

Hi all

I have a checkbox "activated" in my "TermolinoWord" model. I'd like to
make some custom validation in the controller where I check if the
checkbox is checked or not.

I wanted to simply check the value of the model object using $model-
>field("activated"), but for an unknown reason it always returns 1,
regardless whether it's checked or not! When using $this-
>data['TermolinoWord']['activated'], it works as expected:

$model =& $this->{$this->modelClass};
echo $model->field('activated'); // always 1
echo $this->data['TermolinoWord']['activated']; // 1 when checked, 0
when unchecked

What's the problem here?

Thanks a lot for help,
Josh
