JCheckBox Class
The JCheckBox class represents the toggle component that, by default, displays a check box
icon next to the text label for a two-state option. The check box icon uses an optional check
mark to show the current state of the object, instead of keeping the button depressed, as with
the JToggleButton . With the JCheckBox , the icon shows the state of the object, whereas with the
JToggleButton , the icon is part of the label and isn't usually used to show state information.
With the exception of the UI-related differences between JCheckBox and JToggleButton , the
two components are identical. Figure 5-5 demonstrates how check box components might
appear in a pizza-ordering application.
