Offering options with CheckBoxes

The CheckBox control in its usual configuration is similar to a type of binary input; it is either checked or not checked. So, as such, it is often used to offer selection options to "yes/no" questions in a user interface, such as an option to enable or disable a feature in an application's configuration screen. In this recipe, we will take a look at the ways of using a CheckBox control.

How to do it…

To offer options with checkboxes, you need to do the following:

1. First, we will start by making a panel that has three CheckBox controls on it through the following code:

   class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
       def __init__(self, parent):
           super(MyPanel, self).__init__(parent)
   
           # Layout sizers
           vsizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
   
           # Toggle Button
           self.allCB = wx.CheckBox(self, label="All Selected",
                                    style=wx.CHK_3STATE)
           vsizer.Add(self.allCB)
           self.option1 = wx.CheckBox(self,label="Option 1"...
