   3 A checkbox is a labelled box which by default is either on (checkmark is
   4 visible) or off (no checkmark). Optionally (when the wxCHK\_3STATE style flag
   5 is set) it can have a third state, called the mixed or undetermined state.
   6 Often this is used as a "Does Not Apply" state.

  96 for details.
  97
  98 \membersection{wxCheckBox::GetValue}\label{wxcheckboxgetvalue}
  99
 100 \constfunc{bool}{GetValue}{\void}
 101
 102 Gets the state of a 2-state checkbox.
 103
 104 \wxheading{Return value}
 105
 106 Returns \true if it is checked, \false otherwise.
 107
 108 \membersection{wxCheckBox::Get3StateValue}\label{wxcheckboxgetthreestatevalue}
 109
 110 \constfunc{wxCheckBoxState}{Get3StateValue}{\void}
 111
 112 Gets the state of a 3-state checkbox.
 113
 114 \wxheading{Return value}
 115
 116 Returns wxCHK\_UNCHECKED when the checkbox is unchecked, wxCHK\_CHECKED
 117  when it is checked and wxCHK\_UNDETERMINED when it's in the undetermined
 118 state. Asserts when the function is used with a 2-state checkbox.
 119
 120 \membersection{wxCheckBox::Is3rdStateAllowedForUser}\label{wxcheckboxis3rdstateallowedforuser}
 121
 122 \constfunc{bool}{Is3rdStateAllowedForUser}{\void}
 123
 124 Returns whether or not the user can set the checkbox to the third state.
 125
 126 \wxheading{Return value}
 127
 128 Returns \true if the user can set the third state of this checkbox, \false if it can only be set
 129 programmatically or if it's a 2-state checkbox.
 130
 131 \membersection{wxCheckBox::Is3State}\label{wxcheckboxis3state}
 132
 133 \constfunc{bool}{Is3State}{\void}
 134
 135 Returns whether or not the checkbox is a 3-state checkbox.
 136
 137 \wxheading{Return value}
 138
 139 Returns \true if this checkbox is a 3-state checkbox, \false if it's a 2-state checkbox.
 140
 141 \membersection{wxCheckBox::IsChecked}\label{wxcheckboxischecked}
 142
 143 \constfunc{bool}{IsChecked}{\void}
 144
 145 This is just a maybe more readable synonym for
 146 \helpref{GetValue}{wxcheckboxgetvalue}: just as the latter, it returns
 147 \true if the checkbox is checked and \false otherwise.
 148
 149 \membersection{wxCheckBox::SetValue}\label{wxcheckboxsetvalue}
 150
 151 \func{void}{SetValue}{\param{bool}{ state}}
 152
 153 Sets the checkbox to the given state. This does not cause a
 154 wxEVT\_COMMAND\_CHECKBOX\_CLICKED event to get emitted.
 155
 156 \wxheading{Parameters}
 157
 158 \docparam{state}{If \true, the check is on, otherwise it is off.}
 159
 160 \membersection{wxCheckBox::Set3StateValue}\label{wxcheckboxset3statevalue}
 161
 162 \func{void}{Set3StateValue}{\param{const wxCheckBoxState}{ state}}
 163
 164 Sets the checkbox to the given state. This does not cause a

 166
 167 \wxheading{Parameters}
 168
 169 \docparam{state}{Can be one of: wxCHK\_UNCHECKED (Check is off), wxCHK\_CHECKED
