An unbound check box editor.
TcxCheckBox = class(
TcxCustomCheckBox
)
A check box editor allows users to switch between two or three states of an option.
The list below outlines key members of the TcxCheckBox class. These members allow you to configure check box editors.
Style | StyleDisabled | StyleFocused | StyleHot | StyleReadOnly
Allow you to define individual appearance settings for different editor states.
Tip
To apply the same style settings to multiple editors, use a TcxEditStyleController component. If you need to apply the same style settings to all editors in your application, you can use a TcxDefaultEditStyleController component.
