Library

xtd.forms

Remarks

Use a check_box to give the user an option, such as true/false or yes/no. The check_box control can display an image or text or both.

check_box and radio_button controls have a similar function: they allow the user to choose from a list of options. check_box controls let the user pick a combination of options. In contrast, radio_button controls allow a user to choose from mutually exclusive options.

The appearance property determines whether the check_box appears as a typical check_box or as a button.

The three_state property determines whether the control supports two or three states. Use the checked property to get or set the value of a two-state check_box control and use the check_state property to get or set the value of a three-state check_box control.

Note

If the three_state property is set to true, the checked property will return true for either a checked or indeterminate state.

Remarks

The flat_style property determines the style and appearance of the control. If the flat_style property is set to flat_style::system, the user's operating system determines the appearance of the control.

Note

When the flat_style property is set to flat_style::system, the check_align property is ignored and the control is displayed using the content_alignment::middle_left or content_alignment::middle_right alignment. If the check_align property is set to one of the right alignments, the control is displayed using the content_alignment::middle_right alignment; otherwise, it is displayed using the content_alignment::middle_left alignment.

Remarks

The following describes an indeterminate state: You have a check_box that determines if the selected text in a rich_text_box is bold. When you select text you can click the check_box to bold the selection. Likewise, when you select some text, the check_box displays whether the selected text is bold. If your selected text contains text that is bold and normal, the check_box will have an indeterminate state.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

check_box()

xtd::forms::check_box::check_box

(

)

Initializes a new instance of the CheckBox class.

Remarks

By default, when a new check_box is instantiated, auto_check is set to true, checked is set to false, and appearance is set to normal.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of check_box constructor.

#include <xtd/forms/application>
#include <xtd/forms/check_box>
#include <xtd/forms/form>
 
using namespace xtd;
using namespace xtd::forms;
 
namespace check_box_example {

      controls().push_back_range({check_box1, check_box2, check_box3, check_box4, check_box5});
      
      check_box1.auto_check(false);
      check_box1.click += [&] {
        // Uncomments next line to check / uncheck check box 1 (auto_check is false...)
        //check_box1.checked(!check_box1.checked());
        check_box1.text(string::format("{}", check_box1.check_state()));
      };
      check_box1.location({30, 30});

appearance() [1/2]

virtual forms::appearance xtd::forms::check_box::appearance ( ) const

virtualnoexcept

Gets the value that determines the appearance of a check_box control.

Returns

One of the appearance values. The default value is normal.

Remarks

If appearance value is set to normal, the check_box has a typical appearance. If the value is set to button, the check_box appears like a toggle button, which can be toggled to an up or down state.

virtual

Gets the value that determines the appearance of a check_box control.

Parameters

appearance

One of the appearance values. The default value is normal.

Remarks

If appearance value is set to normal, the check_box has a typical appearance. If the value is set to button, the check_box appears like a toggle button, which can be toggled to an up or down state.

three_state() [1/2]

virtual bool xtd::forms::check_box::three_state ( ) const

virtualnoexcept

Gets a value indicating whether the check_box will allow three check states rather than two.

Returns

true if the check_box is able to display three check states; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

If the three_state property is set to false, the check_state property value can only be set to the indeterminate value of xtd.forms.check_state in code and not by user interaction.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of check_box three_state.

size	A xtd::drawing::size that represent size of the xtd::forms::check_box.
name	The name of the xtd::forms::check_box.

Returns

New xtd::forms::check_box created.

create_params()

forms::create_params xtd::forms::check_box::create_params ( ) const

overrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Gets the required creation parameters when the control handle is created.

Returns

A create_params that contains the required creation parameters when the handle to the control is created.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::button_base.

state()

xtd::forms::visual_styles::check_box_state xtd::forms::check_box::state ( ) const

protectednoexcept

Gets state.

Returns

One of xtd::forms::visual_styles::check_box_state values.

clone()

xtd::uptr< xtd::object > xtd::forms::check_box::clone ( ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.

Returns

A new object that is a copy of this instance.

Notes to Implementers

All controls must be override the clone method.

Implements xtd::iclonable.

measure_control()

drawing::size xtd::forms::check_box::measure_control ( ) const

overrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Measure this control.

Returns

The drawing::size size of this control.

Remarks

This method is not relevant for this class.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::button_base.

on_appearance_changed()

virtual void xtd::forms::check_box::on_appearance_changed ( const event_args &  e )

protectedvirtual

Raises the check_box::appearance_changed event.

Parameters

e	An event_args that contains the event data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate.

The on_appearance_changed method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

on_checked_changed()

virtual void xtd::forms::check_box::on_checked_changed ( const event_args &  e )

protectedvirtual

Raises the check_box::checked_changed event.

Parameters

e	An event_args that contains the event data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate.

The on_checked_changed method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

on_check_state_changed()

virtual void xtd::forms::check_box::on_check_state_changed ( const event_args &  e )

protectedvirtual

Raises the check_box::check_state_changed event.

Parameters

e	An event_args that contains the event data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate.

The on_check_state_changed method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

on_enabled_changed()

void xtd::forms::check_box::on_enabled_changed ( const event_args &  e )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Raises the xtd::forms::control::enabled_changed event.

Parameters

e	An xtd::event_args that contains the event data.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::button_base.

on_handle_created()

void xtd::forms::check_box::on_handle_created ( const event_args &  e )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Raises the xtd::forms::control::handle_created event.

Parameters

e	An xtd::event_args that contains the event data.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

on_mouse_down()

Parameters

e	An xtd::event_args that contains the event data.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::button_base.

on_paint()

void xtd::forms::check_box::on_paint ( paint_event_args &  e )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Raises the xtd::forms::control::paint event.

Parameters

e	An xtd::event_args that contains the event data.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

wnd_proc()

void xtd::forms::check_box::wnd_proc ( message &  m )

overrideprotectedvirtual
