The checkbox group enables the user to select one element from a set of options checking it. The CheckBoxGroup UI element lists the checkboxes as a table. As opposed to the RadioButtonGroup, you can check multiple fields.

● colCount
Specifies the number of columns in which the CheckBox elements are grouped.
● readOnly
Specifies whether or not the user can check the checkbox in the checkbox group.
● state
Describes the status of the UI element. The data type of this property corresponds to the enumeration type WDState. You can use the following values in the application:
normal |
|
required |
The required state is displayed by an asterisk. |
● textDirection
Specifies the text direction and allows you to use a checkbox group for texts in languages which require a specific text direction. The textDirection property can be filled with the following values and is represented by the enumeration type WDTextDirection.
The text direction is inherited from the parent element. Therefore, the text direction is identical to the one of the parent element. |
|
The default value for this property is inherit.
● texts
Specifies the path of the context attribute within a context node whose node elements provide the texts of the individual checkboxes at runtime.
● width
Specifies the minimum width of the CheckBoxGroup UI element. You can specify the width in CSS units like em, ex, pixel, or percentage.

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.
