It's possible to bind checkboxes manually and update the state after value-changed events. If you need a checkbox automatically bound to the model, an IChoiceCellEditor is the class to use. |
| - | The choice cell editor is not a real checkbox, it is a cell editor that has a list of values and shows an image instead of the value. It's very easy to use it as checkbox, because the only things you need are two images. One image for checked state and one for unchecked state. You can e.g. use YES/NO, Y/N, TRUE/FALSE as checked/unchecked values. The choice cell editor is very powerful because it offers multi-state checkboxes. This is what you need if you develop database applications, because two states are not enough. | + | The choice cell editor is not a real checkbox, but a cell editor that has a list of values and shows an image instead of the value.

| - | It works great if you use check constraints, enums or sets in your database, for specific columns, together with default choice cell editors. You don't need extra source code to show "checkboxes". Everything will be auto-configured. | + | It works great if you use check constraints, enums, or sets in your database for specific columns together with default choice cell editors.
