17.12 JcheckBox Component User Interface
Look at the check box component at the bottom of Figure 17.12. Use a check box component if you want to present an option. A check box component displays a small square with a label to its right. When the square is blank, the check box is unselected. When the square contains a check mark, the check box is selected. Us- ers click on the check box in order to toggle between selected and unselected.
