- onToggle (boolean checked, int index)

Event parameters Type Description checked
boolean

index
int
Index (0..n) of the selected checkbox.
A checkbox group is a multiple selection displayed as a group of checkboxes on the screen.
The view context must provide the node X that can contain 0 to n values (X.cardinality = 0..n). The context node must contain an attribute y that provides the texts for the checkbox fields. The data type of the context attribute y can be any simple data type - for example, String, int, and so on. The number of checkboxes equals the number of node elements. The selection of the checkboxes is determined by the multiple selection of the node. The texts property of the CheckBoxGroup UI element is bound to the attribute y by assigning the context path of the context y to the texts property.
