Check Box

What is a Check Box?

A checkbox menu is a graphical user interface element that presents a list of checkbox options allowing the user to select one or more choices.

Some key characteristics of checkbox menus:

  • Contains multiple checkboxes as options instead of radio buttons or list items.

  • Each checkbox represents one choice or option that can be individually selected.

  • The user can select any number of checkboxes from the list.

  • Checkboxes have two states - checked or unchecked. Clicking toggles the state.

  • Provides a way to select multiple options from a set of choices.

  • Often used to enable/disable certain settings or preferences.

  • Can allow selection of zero, one, or more options.

  • Selected options remain checked until explicitly unchecked.

  • More flexible than radio buttons or dropdowns for multi-selection.

  • The visual indicator (check mark) shows which options are currently selected.

  • Commonly placed next to each option but can also be shown separately.
