<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QCheckBox widget provides a checkbox with a text label.
<p>
<p> QCheckBox and <a href="qradiobutton.html">QRadioButton</a> are both option buttons. That is, they
can be switched on (checked) or off (unchecked). The classes
differ in how the choices for the user are restricted. Radio
buttons define a "one of many" choice, whereas checkboxes provide
"many of many" choices.
<p> A <a href="qbuttongroup.html">QButtonGroup</a> can be used to group check buttons visually.
<p> Whenever a checkbox is checked or cleared it emits the signal
<a href="qbutton.html#toggled">toggled</a>(). Connect to this signal if you want to trigger an action
each time the checkbox changes state. You can use <a href="#isChecked">isChecked</a>() to
query whether or not a checkbox is checked.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> The toggled() signal can not be trusted for tristate
checkboxes.
<p> In addition to the usual checked and unchecked states, QCheckBox
optionally provides a third state to indicate "no change". This
is useful whenever you need to give the user the option of neither
checking nor unchecking a checkbox. If you need this third state,
enable it with <a href="#setTristate">setTristate</a>() and use <a href="qbutton.html#state">state</a>() to query the current
toggle state. When a tristate checkbox changes state, it emits the
<a href="qbutton.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>() signal.
<p> Just like <a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a>, a checkbox can display text or a pixmap.
The text can be set in the constructor or with <a href="qbutton.html#setText">setText</a>(); the
pixmap is set with <a href="qbutton.html#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="QCheckBox"></a>QCheckBox::QCheckBox ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent, const char * name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a checkbox with no text.
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are sent to the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>
constructor.
<h3 class=fn><a name="QCheckBox-2"></a>QCheckBox::QCheckBox ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & text, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent, const char * name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a checkbox with text <em>text</em>.

constructor.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a> <a name="accel"></a>QButton::accel () const
</h3><p>Returns the accelerator associated with the button.
See the <a href="qbutton.html#accel-prop">"accel"</a> property for details.

pressed down and then released when the mouse cursor is inside the
button), when the accelerator key is typed or when <a href="qbutton.html#animateClick">animateClick</a>()
is called. This signal is <em>not</em> emitted if you call <a href="qbutton.html#setDown">setDown</a>().
<p> The <a href="qbuttongroup.html#clicked">QButtonGroup::clicked</a>() signal does the same job, if you want
to connect several buttons to the same slot.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> Don't launch a model dialog in response to this signal
for a button that has <a href="qbutton.html#autoRepeat-prop">autoRepeat</a> turned on.

<hr><h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a> <a name="accel-prop"></a>accel</h3>
<p>This property holds the accelerator associated with the button.
<p>This property is 0 if there is no accelerator set. If you set this
property to 0 then any current accelerator is removed.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setAccel">setAccel</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#accel">accel</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoMask-prop"></a>autoMask</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the checkbox is automatically masked.
<p><p><p>See also <a href="qwidget.html#autoMask-prop">QWidget::autoMask</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoRepeat-prop"></a>autoRepeat</h3>
<p>This property holds whether autoRepeat is enabled.
<p>If autoRepeat is enabled then the <a href="qbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>() signal is emitted at
regular intervals if the button is down. This property has no
effect on toggle buttons. autoRepeat is off by default.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setAutoRepeat">setAutoRepeat</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#autoRepeat">autoRepeat</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="checked-prop"></a>checked</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the checkbox is checked.
<p>The default is unchecked, i.e. FALSE.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setChecked">setChecked</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isChecked">isChecked</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> <a name="pixmap-prop"></a>pixmap</h3>
<p>This property holds the pixmap shown on the button.
<p>If the pixmap is monochrome (i.e. it is a <a href="qbitmap.html">QBitmap</a> or its <a href="qpixmap.html#depth">depth</a> is 1) and it does not have a mask,
this property will set the pixmap to be its own mask. The purpose
of this is to draw transparent bitmaps which are important for
toggle buttons, for example.
<p> <a href="qbutton.html#pixmap">pixmap</a>() returns 0 if no pixmap was set.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="text-prop"></a>text</h3>
<p>This property holds the text shown on the button.
<p>This property will return a <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a> if the button has no
text. If the text has an ampersand (&) in it, then an
accelerator is automatically created for it using the character
that follows the '&' as the accelerator key. Any previous
accelerator will be overwritten, or cleared if no accelerator is
defined by the text.
<p> There is no default text.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setText">setText</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#text">text</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="tristate-prop"></a>tristate</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the checkbox is a tri-state checkbox.
<p>The default is two-state, i.e. tri-state is FALSE.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setTristate">setTristate</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isTristate">isTristate</a>().
