Background documentation CheckBox  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

With a CheckBox you can implement a single on/off switch. A checkbox enables the user to select a Boolean value (TRUE/FALSE). The UI element consists of a graphic with text. The checkmark in the box indicates that the option is selected and the value is set to TRUE.

Note

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the properties text and label are not set.

A tooltip does not necessarily have to be set for this UI element, but it could make sense to set it if it contains detailed semantic information.

Example of the Visual Display

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Note

If you want to offer a group of logically related check boxes, use the UI element CheckBoxGroup.
