CheckBox

Use

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

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

Other properties that can be inherited are defined in the related higher-level classes. The related UI elements are:

Accessibility

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the text label properties 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.

Dynamic Programming

For dynamic programming, the same properties, events and aggregations are available as in the View Designer. But note that the spelling format and use of upper/lower case is different.
