# CheckBox
## Introduction
The CheckBox control provides the ability to display a true/false state and allows the user to toggle the state through clicking.
## Code Example: Adding a CheckBox
```csharp
// Initialize
var checkBox = new CheckBox();
checkBox.AddToRoot();
checkBox.X = 50;
checkBox.Y = 50;
checkBox.Text = "Checkbox";
checkBox.Checked += (_,_) => checkBox.Text = $"IsChecked:{checkBox.IsChecked}";
checkBox.Unchecked += (_, _) => checkBox.Text = $"IsChecked:{checkBox.IsChecked}";
```

CheckBox responding to Checked and Unchecked events by printing output
## IsChecked
IsChecked is a nullable bool value.
| Value | Details |
| ------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `true` | CheckBox is checked |
| `false` | CheckBox is not checked |
| `null` | CheckBox is in an indeterminate state |
The following code creates three checkboxes each set to one of the three `IsChecked` values:
```csharp
// Initialize
var stackPanel = new StackPanel();
stackPanel.AddToRoot();
var checkBox = new CheckBox();
stackPanel.AddChild(checkBox);
checkBox.IsChecked = true;
var checkBox2 = new CheckBox();
stackPanel.AddChild(checkBox2);
checkBox2.IsChecked = false;
var checkBox3 = new CheckBox();
stackPanel.AddChild(checkBox3);
checkBox3.IsChecked = null;
```

## CheckBox Width and Height
Default CheckBoxes have the following default values:
Variable
Value
Width
128
WidthUnits
Absolute
Height
32
HeightUnits
Absolute
The text within the CheckBox draws and wraps according to the bounds of the CheckBox. In other words, longer text results in line wrapping, as show in the following code block:
```csharp
// Initialize
var checkBox = new CheckBox();
checkBox.Y = 24;
checkBox.Text = "This is some longer text";
checkBox.AddToRoot();
```
