Check Box

The Checkbox class is used to create a labelled check box. It has two parts a caption and state. The caption is text that represents the label of the control and the state is the boolean value(true/false).

By default the state is false  which means the check box is unchecked. 

Constructors:

        Checkbox(String s)

        Checkbox(String s,Initial state )

Methods:

        getState()  - returns the current state of the check box.

        setState(boolean state)  - It is used to set the state of check box.

Example:

import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class CheckboxDemo extends Applet

{

    public void init()

    {

        setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));

        Checkbox c1=new Checkbox("Tamil", true);

        Checkbox c2=new Checkbox("English");

        Checkbox c3=new Checkbox("Maths");

        add(c1);

        add(c2);

        add(c3);

    }
