Examples

The following code example creates and initializes a CheckBox, gives it the appearance of a toggle button, sets AutoCheck to false, and adds it to a Form.

public:
   void InstantiateMyCheckBox()
   {
      // Create and initialize a CheckBox.   
      CheckBox^ checkBox1 = gcnew CheckBox;
      
      // Make the check box control appear as a toggle button.
      checkBox1->Appearance = Appearance::Button;
      
      // Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
      checkBox1->AutoCheck = false;
      
      // Add the check box control to the form.
      this->Controls->Add( checkBox1 );
   }

public void InstantiateMyCheckBox()
 {
    // Create and initialize a CheckBox.   
    CheckBox checkBox1 = new CheckBox(); 
    
    // Make the check box control appear as a toggle button.
    checkBox1.Appearance = Appearance.Button;
 
    // Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
    checkBox1.AutoCheck = false;
 
    // Add the check box control to the form.
    Controls.Add(checkBox1);
 }

Public Sub InstantiateMyCheckBox()
    ' Create and initialize a CheckBox.   
    Dim checkBox1 As New CheckBox()
    
    ' Make the check box control appear as a toggle button.
    checkBox1.Appearance = Appearance.Button
    
    ' Turn off the update of the display on the click of the control.
    checkBox1.AutoCheck = False
    
    ' Add the check box control to the form.
    Controls.Add(checkBox1)
End Sub

Remarks

If AutoCheck is set to false, you will need to add code to update the Checked or CheckState values in the Click event handler.
