\class BCheckBox
\ingroup interface
\ingroup libbe
\brief BCheckBox is a user interface element used to make a binary
decision.
A BCheckBox object is used to draw a checkbox element. This simple control
has 2 states, \c B_CONTROL_OFF when the checkbox is unchecked and
\c B_CONTROL_ON when the checkbox is checked. A checkbox can also have a
descriptive label drawn to the right of the checkbox.
When the checkbox is checked it has an X drawn inside of it. The checkbox
can be checked by a mouse click or by pushing \key{Space} on the
keyboard when the checkbox has focus. A checkbox object with focus
is surrounded by a blue border. A checkbox can also be set
programmatically by calling the SetValue() method.
A few checkbox examples can be seen below in unchecked state, checked
state, and another unchecked checkbox with focus on it.
