Same as an HTML checkbox, but with fancy styling.

aps/CheckBox is a modified analog of the HTML checkbox element.
In addition to the standard properties of the HTML element, such as value, checked, and
disabled, the widget may have supplemental text (the hint property),
a description (description), a name for displaying in FieldSet (label
or title). It may also have child widgets from the input category.

The first two examples demonstrate three different declaration methods. The other examples illustrate some use cases including synchronization with a model.

| PROPERTY | TYPE | DEFAULT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| autoSize | boolean | true | Only for PCP / CCP v1. |
| checked | string | false | If checkBox is checked, then “checked” or true. |
| description | string | “” | Textual description to be displayed as a small greyed text under the control. |
| disabled | boolean | false | Specifies if the widget will respond to user input. |
| gridSize | string | undefined | This specifies the widget width that is relevant only for widgets inside Container, FieldSet, or Tiles. |
| hint | string | “” | Help information in a widget. |
| isBusy | boolean | false | If the widget is busy then this property is true. |
| label | string | “” | Text that is shown as a label if the widget is placed inside a aps/FieldSet. |
| missingMessage | string | This value is required. | The message to display if value is empty and the field is required. |
| optionalText | string | undefined | Text for optional widgets of the Input category. |
| placeHolder | string | “” | Grayed out initial string in a field. |
| required | boolean | false | User is required to enter data in the input field. |
| size | number | 10 - PCP / CCP v1, undefined - CCP v2 | Affects the selection of a CSS class that defines the width of the input field of the widget. |
| value | string | “” | The current value of a checkBox. |
| visible | boolean | true | If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible. |
Only for PCP / CCP v1. If this property value is set to “true”, then a CSS class is assigned to the widget based on the value of the “size” property: size <= 7 - f-small-size (40px) 7 < size <= 33 - f-middle-size (215px) 33 < size - f-big-size (240px) The default value of this property is true. If you want to use your own CSS class for defining the widget’s size, you should set this property value to “false” and specify your class name in the widget’s “class” property. Default value: true
If checkBox is checked, then “checked” or true. Default value: false.
Textual description to be displayed as a small greyed text under the control. Default value: “”.
This specifies the widget width that is relevant only for widgets inside Container, FieldSet, or Tiles. In other cases it will be ignored.
gridSize string contains few options with number values (from 1 to 12) separated by spaces, which specify the grid size of the widget in different layouts:
- md - desktop
- xs - phone
For example, gridSize: “md-4 xs-2”.
All values below 1, e.g. “md-0”, will be replaced with the empty string (“”), values above 12, e.g. “md-14”, will be reduced to 12 (“md-12”).
Default value: undefined.
Help information in a widget. It is shown under the content of the widget. Deprecated in CCP v2. Default value: “”.
Text that is shown as a label if the widget is placed inside a aps/FieldSet.
Default value: “”.
The message to display if value is empty and the field is required. The translated string value is read from the message file by default. Default value: “This value is required.”
Text for optional widgets of the Input category. Default value: undefined.
Grayed out initial string in a field. For example, it can display instructions. Default value: “”.
User is required to enter data in the input field. Default value: false.
Affects the selection of a CSS class that defines the width of the input field of the widget. See the specification for more details.
size <= 7 f-small-size (40px)
7 < size <= 33 f-middle-size (215px)
size > 33 f-big-size (240px)
Default value: 10 - PCP / CCP v1, undefined - CCP v2.
The current value of a checkBox. Default value: “”.
If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible.
Default value: true.

Makes the given widget a child of this widget. Inserts specified child widget’s dom node as a child of this widget’s container node, and possibly does other processing (such as layout).
Return: undefined
| ARGUMENT | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
child |
Widget
|
Child widget |
insertIndex |
Number
String
|
Position child in the parent widget |
Destroys this widget, but not its descendants. Descendants are the widgets inside this.containerNode. Will also destroy any resources (including widgets) registered via this.own().
Return: undefined
Get a property of the Stateful instance. Get a named property of the Stateful object. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method in subclasses.
In the base class, this just retrieves the object’s property.
Return: any
Returns all direct children of this widget, i.e. all widgets underneath this.containerNode whose parent is this widget. Note that it returns not all descendetns, but only the direct children. Analogous to Node.childNodes, except containing widgets rather than DOMNodes.
The result intentionally excludes internally created widgets (a.k.a. supporting widgets) outside of this.containerNode.
Note the returned array is a simple array. The application code should not assume existence of methods like forEach().
Return: array
Here, you can return a custom error message. The method must return a value, only if additional verifications fail. To change standard error messages, use respective properties.
Return: string
Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions. A convenience function providing a simple shorthand mechanism to put an existing (or newly created) widget somewhere in the DOM, and allow chaining.
Return: dijit/_widgetbase function
Removes the passed widget instance from this widget and destroys it. You can also pass in an integer indicating the index within the container to remove (ie, removeChild(5) removes the sixth widget).
Return: undefined
| ARGUMENT | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
widget |
Widget
Int
|
Child widget or index |
Set a property of the Stateful instance. Sets named properties of the stateful object and notifies the watchers of the property. A programmatic setter may be defined in subclasses.
Return: object function
Processing after the DOM fragment is added to the document. Called after a widget and its children have been created and added to the page and all related widgets have finished their creation cycle, that is after the postCreate() function is successfully completed for each of the related widgets. Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden.
Return: undefined
Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress. Show missing or invalid messages if appropriate, and highlight textbox field.
Return: boolean
| EVENT | RETURN | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| onClick () | undefined
|
The method is called when a user clicks on the widget |
The method is called when a user clicks on the widget.
