#include <QCheckBox>
Inherits QAbstractButton.
The QCheckBox widget provides a checkbox with a text label.
A QCheckBox is an option button that can be switched on (checked) or off (unchecked). Checkboxes are typically used to represent features in an application that can be enabled or disabled without affecting others, but different types of behavior can be implemented.
A QButtonGroup can be used to group check buttons visually.
Whenever a checkbox is checked or cleared it emits the signal stateChanged(). Connect to this signal if you want to trigger an action each time the checkbox changes state. You can use isChecked() to query whether or not a checkbox is checked.
In addition to the usual checked and unchecked states, QCheckBox optionally provides a third state to indicate "no change". This is useful whenever you need to give the user the option of neither checking nor unchecking a checkbox. If you need this third state, enable it with setTristate(), and use checkState() to query the current toggle state.
Just like QPushButton, a checkbox button displays text, and optionally a small icon. The text can be set in the constructor or with setText(); the icon is set with setIcon().
Important inherited functions: text(), setText(), text(), pixmap(), setPixmap(), accel(), setAccel(), isToggleButton(), setDown(), isDown(), isOn(), checkState(), autoRepeat(), isExclusiveToggle(), group(), setAutoRepeat(), toggle(), pressed(), released(), clicked(), toggled(), checkState(), and stateChanged().

This property holds whether the checkbox is a tri-state checkbox.
The default is false; i.e. the checkbox has only two states.
Access functions:
Constructs a checkbox with the given parent, but with no text.
The parent argument is passed on to the QAbstractButton constructor.
Constructs a checkbox with the given parent and text.
The parent argument is passed on to the QAbstractButton constructor.
Returns the check box's check state.
See also setCheckState() and Qt::CheckState.
Sets the check box's check state to state.
See also checkState() and Qt::CheckState.
This signal is emitted whenever the check box's state changes, i.e. whenever the user checks or unchecks it.
state contains the check box's new ToggleState.
