The standard checkbox button control.

Because this is a RectControl, see the RectControl for other properties and events that are common to all RectControl objects.

# Note

If the Caption property contains an ampersand character, it will display only if it is preceded by another ampersand character. For example, if the caption should read "Bread & Butter", enter "Bread && Butter".

This is done to make applications on all operating systems behave consistently. The ampersand is used to denote a keyboard accelerator on Windows.

# Example

The following code in the CheckBox's Action event handler checks the value of the CheckBox.

If CheckBox1.value then
EditField1.text="True"
else
EditField1.text="False"
end if
