* true) or "off" (false) state.
* Clicking on a check box changes its state from
* "on" to "off," or from "off" to "on."
* * The following code example creates a set of check boxes in * a grid layout: * *
* setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
* add(new Checkbox("one", null, true));
* add(new Checkbox("two"));
* add(new Checkbox("three"));
* * This image depicts the check boxes and grid layout * created by this code example: *
*
*
* The button labeled one is in the "on" state, and the
* other two are in the "off" state. In this example, which uses the
* GridLayout class, the states of the three check
* boxes are set independently.
*
* Alternatively, several check boxes can be grouped together under
* the control of a single object, using the
* CheckboxGroup class.
* In a check box group, at most one button can be in the "on"
* state at any given time. Clicking on a check box to turn it on
* forces any other check box in the same group that is on
* into the "off" state.
