Description

The CheckBox is a common widget found in many GUI applications. A CheckBox can be checked or not checked, either by mouse or keyboard. When the tri-state mode is enabled, there is an additional third state. The third state means that the CheckBox was neither checked nor unchecked, i.e. the state of the CheckBox is undetermined.

The CheckBox supports an optional plain text.

Also it is possible to combine a CheckBox with a TreeItem to construct a complex widget.
