  1. Open the form design screen.
  2. Go to the Toolbox panel.
  3. Locate the CheckBox component.
  4. Drag and drop it onto the form.
  5. Click the component and configure its settings in the Property Viewer panel.

4. Example Usage Scenarios​

User preference settings​

  • Enable/disable various notifications
  • Email preference selections

Privacy and policy confirmations​

  • “I have read the privacy notice”
  • “I consent to the processing of my data”

Filtering screens​

  • Selecting multiple categories
  • Status/label filters

Multiple independent options​

  • Selecting hobbies
  • Marking user permissions

5. Tips​

  • If multiple CheckBoxes are used together, placing them inside a group panel helps maintain layout order.
  • If there are too many options, using a CheckBox List or RadioList may be more efficient than individual CheckBoxes.
  • CheckBox items work independently; use Radio when only one option must be selected.

What Is CheckBox?​

What Is CheckBox?​

A CheckBox is a form component that enables users to make single or multiple selections from a list of options.
Each CheckBox operates independently; the user may select just one option, several of them, or even all of them.

For this reason, the CheckBox component is especially preferred when:

  • The user needs to select multiple options at once
  • An on/off or enable/disable setting group is required
  • Independent marking fields must be displayed on a form
  • Multiple confirmations are needed (e.g., privacy consent, preference lists)

Where It Is Used?​

  • Multi-selection preference screens
  • Settings pages
  • Filtering panels
  • Areas requiring user confirmation
  • Forms that include multiple independent options

How It Appears in the IDE​

The CheckBox is added to the form using drag-and-drop from the Toolbox panel in the form designer.
When selected, the following tabs are displayed in the Property Viewer:

  • General (Appearance / Properties)
  • Events

These sections allow full configuration of the component.
