Checkbox Behavior

SmartUI Checkbox Behavior operation and ACEs.

Checkboxes are a handy approach to represent boolean values and toggle it according to user inputs. This component inherits ACEs directly from the Buttons behavior except for the clicking capabilities.

Checkboxes have twice as many animations as the button, although in general terms we talk about the same states. This is due to a checkbox must represent two animations at minimum: check and unchecked.

Checkbox behavior handles the following animations for the Unchecked state:

Normal , Focused , Hover , Pressed , and Disabled .

Checkbox behavior handles the following animations for the Checked state:

Normal , Focused , Hover , Pressed , and Disabled .
