CheckBox
========

.. versionadded:: 1.4.0

.. image:: images/checkbox.png
    :align: right

:class:`CheckBox` is a specific two-state button that can be either checked or
unchecked. If the CheckBox is in a Group, it becomes a Radio button.
As with the :class:`~kivy.uix.togglebutton.ToggleButton`, only one Radio button
at a time can be selected when the :attr:`CheckBox.group` is set.

An example usage::

    from kivy.uix.checkbox import CheckBox

    # ...

    def on_checkbox_active(checkbox, value):
        if value:
            print('The checkbox', checkbox, 'is active')
        else:
            print('The checkbox', checkbox, 'is inactive')

    checkbox = CheckBox()
    checkbox.bind(active=on_checkbox_active)
