Usage Examples

Example 1: iOS Style Switch

Configuring the control to behave like a mobile toggle switch.

C# - Switch Setup

private void SetupSwitch()
{
    chkSwitch.Style = CheckBoxStyleAdvanced.Switch;
    
                // iOS Colors
    chkSwitch.CheckedBoxColor = Color.FromArgb(52, 199, 89);
    chkSwitch.BoxColor = Color.FromArgb(229, 229, 234);
    chkSwitch.CheckmarkColor = Color.White;
    
                // Round appearance
    chkSwitch.BorderRadius = 15;
}

Example 2: Neon Glow Effect

Using the Glow style with gradients for a high-tech look.

C# - Neon Theme

private void SetupNeonCheckbox()
{
    chkNeon.Style = CheckBoxStyleAdvanced.Glow;
    chkNeon.UseGradient = true;
    
                // Neon Cyan/Magenta Gradient
    chkNeon.GradientColor1 = Color.Cyan;
    chkNeon.GradientColor2 = Color.Magenta;
    
                // Matching Glow
    chkNeon.GlowColor = Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Cyan);
    chkNeon.GlowIntensity = 6;
    
                // Dark Background for contrast
    chkNeon.BoxColor = Color.FromArgb(30, 30, 30);
}

Example 3: Multi-Select with Indeterminate State

Managing a "Select All" checkbox for a list.

C# - Indeterminate Logic

private void UpdateSelectAllState(int selectedCount, int totalCount)
{
    chkSelectAll.AllowIndeterminate = true;
    
                if (selectedCount == 0)
        chkSelectAll.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked;
                else if (selectedCount == totalCount)
        chkSelectAll.CheckState = CheckState.Checked;
                else
        chkSelectAll.CheckState = CheckState.Indeterminate;
}

Example 4: Custom Delete Checkbox

Using the "Cross" style to indicate a destructive action.

C# - Delete Action

private void SetupDeleteOption()
{
    chkDelete.Text = "Mark for Deletion";
    
                // Use 'X' symbol
    chkDelete.CheckmarkStyle = AdvancedCheckmarkStyle.Cross;
    
                // Red colors for warning
    chkDelete.CheckedBoxColor = Color.Crimson;
    chkDelete.CheckedBorderColor = Color.DarkRed;
    chkDelete.CheckmarkColor = Color.White;
}
