Description

TCheckBox is a TCustomCheckBox descendant which implements a check box component. A check box control allows the user to choose the state for the control independent of other check box controls (unlike a radio button).

The State property contains the checked, unchecked, or grayed state for the control. The AllowGrayed property indicates if the grayed state is allowed in the control; otherwise only checked and unchecked are used. The Checked property allows the value in State to be updated by setting a Boolean value that indicates if the control is check or unchecked.
