Check Box

Check boxes allow the user to select one or more items from a group of check boxes. Use check boxes to let the user select one or multiple items from the group. For example, an employee might be a member of the management group as well as a member of the I.T. Department and the long-range planning committee. Check boxes are the opposite of radio buttons, which allow the user to select only one item from a group of radio buttons.

To set properties, display the control's shortcut menu and click Edit Properties.

Check Box Control Properties

Property	Description
Color	FG: Foreground color. In the list, select a text color.
Font	The shortcut menu has standard buttons to set text style (such as bold), size, and font. Note: Type size is measured in points. One inch has 72 points, so 12-point type is one-sixth of an inch high, 18-point type is one-fourth of an inch high, and so on.
Text (format)	The shortcut menu has standard buttons to set text format. The W button sets word wrap on or off. Other buttons align the text left, right, center, or justified.
Options	Allows you to make the check box read-only.
Binding(s)	Control Only: The control only displays its state. It does not send its data anywhere else or get data from anywhere else. The user can change the state of the control, but the change doesn't cause anything else to happen. Data to Control: The control gets its value from the data item with which it is bound by the Checked State Data property. It displays that data. Control to Data: The control takes whatever value the user gives it and copies that value into the data item with which it is bound by the Checked State Data property.
Checked State Data	The variable with which the process links the control. Click the hyperlink to select or change the variable.
