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

**CheckBox** allows the user to choose one of only 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 example, it could 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.

When :ref:`BaseButton.button_group<class_BaseButton_property_button_group>` specifies a :ref:`ButtonGroup<class_ButtonGroup>`, **CheckBox** changes its appearance to that of a radio button and uses the various ``radio_*`` theme properties.
