When a user clicks a CheckBox component or its associated text,
the CheckBox component sets its selected
property
to true
for checked, and to false
for unchecked.
The CheckBox control has the following default characteristics:
Characteristic | Description |
---|---|
Default size | Wide enough to display the text label of the control |
Minimum size | 18 pixels wide and 18 pixels high |
Maximum size | 10000 pixels wide and 10000 pixels high |
Default skin class | spark.skins.spark.CheckBoxSkin |
The <s:CheckBox>
tag inherits all of the tag
attributes of its superclass and adds the following attributes:
<s:CheckBox Properties symbolColor="0x000000" />

Styles are either common or associated with a specific theme. If the style is common, it can be used with any theme. If a style is associated with a specific theme, it can only be used if your application uses that theme.
Style | Description | Defined By | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: spark The main color for a component. | SkinnableComponent | |||
Type: Number CSS Inheritance: no Theme: spark The alpha of the focus ring for this component. | ButtonBase | |||
Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: spark Color of focus ring when the component is in focus. | ButtonBase | |||
symbolColor | Type: uint Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes Theme: spark Color of any symbol of a component. Examples include the check mark of a CheckBox or the arrow of a scroll button. The default value is 0x000000 . | CheckBox |
This component uses skins made up of skin parts. Do not set the skin parts directly. The component's skin sets the skin parts.
To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.
