MCheckBox

About component

MCheckBox allows users to complete tasks that involve making choices such as selecting options, or switching settings on or off. Check-box controls are found on screens that ask users to make decisions or declare preferences such as settings or dialogs.

What has changed?

MCheckBox now supports themes and accent color. In addition, on-click animations were added.

How to use it?

Like other controls, MCheckBox can be simply droped from toolbox on the form. If you are not using IDE with integrated form designer (like Visual Studio), you can always create check-box programmatically:

// Initialize check-box first
MCheckBox box = new MCheckBox();

// Set location
box.Location = new Point(50, 50);

// Don't forget to add our newly created
// check-box to form's control collection.
targetForm.Controls.Add(box);

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Minimal.Components;

namespace Demo
{
    public partial class MyForm : Form
    {
        // Initialize check-box first
        MCheckBox box = new MCheckBox();

        // Form constructor
        public MyForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Set size and location
            box.Location = new Point(50, 50);

            // Don't forget to add our newly created
            // check-box to form's control collection.
            Controls.Add(box);
        }
    }
}

Code example asumes, that targetForm variable is form where you want to have your combo-box placed. If you are working inside a class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form, you can of course replace targetForm variable with this keyword or in latest version of C# omit form reference completely. See second example above. Check-box state can be obtained using Checked property:

bool privateMode = box.Checked;
