**Inherits:** :ref:`Button<class_Button>` **<** :ref:`BaseButton<class_BaseButton>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Binary choice user interface widget. See also :ref:`CheckButton<class_CheckButton>`.

Description
-----------

A checkbox allows the user to make a binary choice (choosing only one of two possible options). It's similar to :ref:`CheckButton<class_CheckButton>` in functionality, but it has a different appearance. To follow established UX patterns, it's recommended to use CheckBox when toggling it has **no** immediate effect on something. For instance, it should be used when toggling it will only do something once a confirmation button is pressed.

See also :ref:`BaseButton<class_BaseButton>` which contains common properties and methods associated with this node.
