Description

A Checkbox is a familiar component that represents a bit - it is either on (selected) or off (not selected). In addition, the 'triState' property can be enabled, adding a third state to represent an indeterminate value. It is functionally equivalent to the Toggle Switch component.

Properties

Most Properties have binding options. For more information on Bindings, see Types of Bindings in Perspective.
This section only documents the Props Category of properties. The other Categories are described on the Perspective Component Properties page.

NameDescriptionProperty Type
selectedOutput value for checkbox.value: boolean
textLabel for the checkbox.value: string
textPositionWhere to place the label text in relation to the checkbox: top, right, bottom, or left.value: string dropdown
enabled

Whether the user can currently interact with the checkbox.

If the component is disabled, scripts can still run on the component. For example, if you add a script action to the onClick event, the script will fire when the user clicks on the Checkbox.

Perspective Component Events

The Perspective Event Types Reference page describes all the possible component event types for Perspective components. Not all component events support each Perspective component. The Component Events and Actions page shows how to configure events and actions on a Perspective component. Component scripting is handled separately and can be accessed from the Component menubar or by right clicking on the component.
