Description

TDBCheckBox implements a data-aware check box control for use with a logical field in a database. The dataset field can be represented using either a Boolean or a String data type.

TDBCheckBox is a TCustomCheckBox descendant, and provides support for a linked dataset with the value for the control. Internally, it uses a TFieldDataLink instance to maintain an association between the control and its DataSource and DataField.

Support for TBasicAction is also implemented in the control using its Action property.

Use the following properties to configure and control the data-aware check box control:
