checkboxes with some options disabled a checkbox check box tickbox tick box is a graphical widget that allows the user to make a binary choice i e a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options for example the user may have to answer yes checked or no not checked on a simple yes no question checkboxes are shown as empty boxes when unchecked and with a tick or cross inside depending on the graphical user interface when checked a caption describing the meaning of the checkbox is normally shown adjacent to the checkbox inverting the state of a checkbox is done by clicking the mouse on the box or the caption or by using a keyboard shortcut such as the space bar often a series of checkboxes is presented each with a binary choice between two options the user may then select several of the choices this is contrasted with the radio button in which only a single option is selectable from several mutually exclusive choices checkboxes may be disabled indicated greyed out to inform the user of their existence and possible use despite momentary unavailability tri state checkbox edit sample tri state checkboxes some applications use checkboxes that allow an indeterminate state in addition to the two provided by a normal checkbox citation needed this third state is shown as a square or dash in the checkbox and indicates that its state is neither checked nor unchecked this is most often used when the checkbox is tied to a collection of items in mixed states the indeterminate state cannot usually be selected by the user and switches to a checked state when activated for example a checkbox presented to select files to send via ftp might use a tree view so that files can be selected one at a time or by folder if only some of the files in a folder are selected then the checkbox for that folder would be indeterminate clicking on this indeterminate checkbox would select all or less commonly none of the contained files continuing to click on the checkbox would alternate between checked all sub directories and files selected and unchecked no sub directories or files selected image needed some tri state checkbox implementations citation needed allow the user to toggle among all states including the indeterminate state by remembering the mixed state of the items in the collection this serves as an undo feature not actionable edit setting or clearing unclicking a checkbox changes the checkbox s state with no other side effects violating this guideline by associating additional actions with the change of state frequently confuses users because they are used to configuring data in entry controls such as text boxes radio buttons and checkboxes and then invoking an action control such as a push button to initiate the action to process the data 1 2 clarification needed one common exception is to enable or display additional user input elements whose relevance depends on the checkbox state in some situations a toggle switch may be used over a checkbox html edit in web forms the html element input type checkbox is used to display a checkbox 3 unicode edit u 2610 ballot box u 2611 ballot box with check u 2612 ballot box with x
