public class JCheckBox - extends JToggleButton
- implements Accessible
An implementation of a check box -- an item that can be selected or
deselected, and which displays its state to the user.
By convention, any number of check boxes in a group can be selected.
See How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons
in The Java Tutorial
for examples and information on using check boxes.
Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action s. Using an
Action with a button has many benefits beyond directly
configuring a button. Refer to
Swing Components Supporting Action for more
details, and you can find more information in How
to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
information see Swing's Threading
Policy.
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeansTM
has been added to the java.beans package.
