Constructor Detail

CheckBox

public CheckBox(Container parent,
                int left,
                int top,
                int width,
                int height,
                java.lang.String text)

Construct a new checkbox. The box will be unchecked initially. Use setState() to set its state explicitly.

Parameters:

parent - the checkbox's parent window.

left - the position of the left edge of the checkbox relative to its parent. If this is negative, it is taken to be relative to the right edge of the parent window. If the parent window is resized, the checkbox will be moved to maintain the same relative position.

top - the position of the top edge of the checkbox relative to its parent. If this is negative, it is taken to be relative to the bottom edge of the parent window. If the parent window is resized, the checkbox will be moved to maintain the same relative position.

width - the width of the checkbox. If this is zero or negative, it is taken to be relative to the width of the parent window. If the parent window is resized, the checkbox will be resized to maintain the same relative width.

height - the height of the checkbox. If this is zero or negative, it is taken to be relative to the height of the parent window. If the parent window is resized, the checkbox will be resized to maintain the same relative height.

text - the initial text displayed by the checkbox.
