Checkbox

This node places a customizable checkbox in the visual tree.

The checkbox will flip its state when clicked and its Checked property can be connected to a data source, such as a variable or object.

This control contains all logic such as accessibility etc. It can be styled in via it's properties, or you can use it only for the logic and create your own checkbox component in your own design system.

Inputs

The main input of the Checkbox node is the Checked input:

Data	Description
Checked	A boolean setting the checkbox in "checked" or "unchecked" state. This is the value of the checkbox and can be connected to a data source.
Background Color	The background color when the checkbox is "checked".

It can be enabled and disabled using the Enabled input:

Data	Description
Enabled	Specifies if the control is Enabled (true) or Disabled (false). A disabled control will not respond to any user interaction.

The Checkbox node has a set of label properties that can be set:

Data	Description

Outputs

The main output of the Checkbox node is the Checked output.

Data	Description
Checked	A boolean output that is true when this checkbox control is checked and false if not. This is useful when using this control as a base for your own component that will represent visually that it is checked.

It also features a set of signals:

Signal	Description
Changed	A signal is sent on this output when the value of the control is changed by user interaction.
Focused	A signal is sent on this output when the control is focused.
Blurred	A signal is sent on this output when the control is blurred, i.e. it has lost the input focus.

Pointer Up	Emitted when the mouse is released or finger is lifted on the node.
Hover Start	Emitted when the mouse enters the node.
Hover End	Emitted when the mouse leaves the node.

States

Apart from triggering signals the Checkbox node also notifies of its state through data outputs:

Data	Description
Enabled	A boolean output that is true if the control is in Enabled state and false if it is Disabled. This is useful when using this control as a base for your own component that will represent visually that it is enabled or disabled.
Focused	This is a boolean type output that will be true if the control is in Focused state, and false otherwise. This is useful when using this control as a base for your own component that will represent visually that it is focused. This can be due to the user selecting the control for input or by using the keyboard.
Hover	A boolean type output that is true when the user hovers over this control with the mouse and false otherwise. This is useful when using this control as a base for your own component that will represent visually that it is hovered.

Dimensions

Controling the width and height of the node is done with the Dimension Gadget.

The first four controls the Size Mode of the node. It decides how the width and height of the node is specified. From left to right, the options are:

Data	Description
Explicit width and height	Set the width and height directly in pixels or percentage. Percentage is in relation to the parent, so 100% is the same size as the parent.
Explicit height, Content Width	The node will calculate the width to fit all of its children. The height is explicitly set.
Explicit width, Content Height	The node will calculate the height to fit all of its children. The width is explicitly set.
Content Size	Both the width and the height is calculated to fit all of the node's children.

The other properties are:

Data	Description
Width	Specify the width of this node in pixels, percentage of parent's width or the unit vw which is percentage of the browser window width.
Height	Specify the height of this node in pixels, percentage of parent's height or the unit vw which is percentage of the browser window height.
Fixed	Controls if an element will try to resize and share space with siblings without going outside of the bounds of the parent. If Fixed is enabled, the element will be the exact specified size. If it is disabled, the element will resize to fill up empty space, or shrink to make space for siblings.

You can use the Dimension Contstraints Gadget to set a min and/or a max size for the node.

Layout

The supported properties of the Layout Gadget can be very different depending on the node. All possible properties are listed below.

• Position

Controls the layout of this node is in its parent group.

Option	Description
