Check-box control

A check-box control is a two-value control that you can use for Boolean values or for any field that has only two values.

A check-box control can be either selected or cleared. When you create the control, you specify the values to associate with the corresponding field when the control is selected or cleared. You can assign any two strings for the values of the control.

Attach a default-value hook to the field for this control. If you do not set the initial value of the control, the value is set to be selected.

The property sheet for a check-box control has two pages.
