Xamarin CheckBox control | Tri-state CheckBox

Xamarin.Forms CheckBox control

A single check box can provide checked, unchecked, indeterminate, and disable states.

Quick selection with sub-items can be provided by maintaining parent-child check box relationships.

Appearance customization allows you to apply your own style.

Overview

The Xamarin CheckBox is a selection control that allows users to select one or more options from a list of predefined choices.

States

A check box has three selection states: selected, unselected, and indeterminate. Use the indeterminate state when a collection of sub choices has both unselected and selected states. To prevent the toggling of check box values, the disable option can be used.

Parent and child check boxes

Check boxes can have parent-child relationships with other check boxes:

When the parent check box is checked, all the child check boxes are checked.
If a parent check box is unchecked, all the child check boxes are unchecked.
If only some child check boxes are checked, the parent check box becomes an indeterminate check box.

What do our customers say about us?

A creator of online tutorials for Microsoft technologies, your controls helped to provide a rich user experience. I wanted a look and feel like a Windows Store app and the Tiles are useful for that.

Microsoft MVP

We're using the file formats and Windows/JavaScript list controls a lot. They're fast, easy to use, and the documentation is good and contains examples. Tickets with questions or suggestions were answered within a day, so we're happy to use the Syncfusion libraries.
