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

var checkBox = new CheckBox();
stackPanel.Children.Add(checkBox.Visual);
checkBox.X = 50;
checkBox.Y = 50;
checkBox.Text = "Checkbox";
checkBox.Checked += (_,_) => Debug.WriteLine($"IsChecked:{checkBox.IsChecked}");
checkBox.Unchecked += (_, _) => Debug.WriteLine($"IsChecked:{checkBox.IsChecked}");

CheckBox responding to Checked and Unchecked events by printing output

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:

var checkBox = new CheckBox();
checkBox.Text = "This is some longer text";
stackPanel.AddChild(checkBox);
