The CheckBox graphic is a More Layout input control used for selected and unselected behavior.

CheckBox can be used as a two-state control. It can switch between an off state and an on state, and it sends a value when the state changes.

CheckBox can display different labels for the off and on states.

• Creating a selected or unselected control
• Sending a checkbox value into application logic
• Creating on/off operator controls
• Displaying off and on labels
• Sending high and low values
• Updating a displayed checkbox state from logic

CheckBox can be updated from an input connection.

The updateDisplayedValue port updates the displayed CheckBox state from logic, a data source, or another component.

CheckBox sends its current value through PrimaryOutPort.

In a typical selected/unselected setup, the unchecked state sends the configured Low Value, and the checked state sends the configured High Value.

CheckBox is designed for two-state selected and unselected behavior.

CheckBox-specific settings include:

• Name Sets the name of the CheckBox graphic.
• Enabled Controls whether the user can interact with the CheckBox.
• Font Controls the font used for the CheckBox label.
• Text Color Sets the CheckBox label text color.
• High Value Sets the value used for the checked or active state.
• Low Value Sets the value used for the unchecked or inactive state.
• Off Label Sets the label shown for the unchecked or off state.
• On Label Sets the label shown for the checked or on state.
• Background Color Sets the CheckBox background color.
• ImageOff Selects the image used for the off state.
• ImageOn Selects the image used for the on state.
• Visible Controls whether the CheckBox is shown.

In the Logic Editor, CheckBox includes these default ports:

• PrimaryOutPort
• updateDisplayedValue

The PrimaryOutPort sends the CheckBox output value.

The updateDisplayedValue port updates the displayed CheckBox state from another source.

Use CheckBox when users need to select or clear a two-state option.

Use RoundCheckBox for the round checkbox variation.

Use Button for button-style on/off behavior.

Use BootstrapButton for Bootstrap-style button behavior.

For general graphic behavior, see Active Graphic.
