== CheckBox Class

*  CheckBox’s extend the Button class and enable the Toggle setting
*  They provide a default label (which is only added if the label text is set).
*  They provide the abstract method onChange for executing code when the CheckBox is altered by the user.

Again, the same three options for constructor are available as show in the <<jme3/contributions/tonegodgui/quickstart#,Quick Start Guide>>.

*Constructor 1:*

[source,java]
----

/** Parameters:
  * Screen screen,
  * String UID,
  * Vector2f position
  */
 
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(screen, “cb”, new Vector2f(15, 15));

----

*Constructor 2:*

[source,java]
----

/** Additional Parameter:
  * Vector2f dimensions  */
 
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(screen, “cb”, new Vector2f(15, 15),
    new Vector2f(25, 25)
);

----

*Constructor 3:*

[source,java]
----

/** Additional Parameters:
  * Vector4f resizeBorders,
  * String defaultImg
  */
 
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(screen, “cb”, new Vector2f(15, 15), new Vector2f(25, 25),
    new Vector4f(3,3,3,3),
    “tonegod/gui/style/def/Button/checkbox_u_x.png”
);
