    Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

    Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v25.1.Core.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

    #Declaration

    public interface CheckBoxFormControl :
        FormControl,
        Shape,

    #Remarks

    #Create a Check Box Form Control

    The code sample below creates a checkbox control:

    using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
    
    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
    workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");
    var cellRange = workbook.Worksheets[0].Range["B2:C4"];
    var checkBoxControl = formControls.AddCheckBox(cellRange);
    checkBoxControl.CheckState = FormControlCheckState.Checked;
    checkBoxControl.PlainText = "Reviewed";
    

    Note

    The FormControlCollection.AddCheckBox method call adds a new item to both FormControlCollection and ShapeCollection.

    #Obtain Check Box Form Controls

    The Worksheet.FormControls property obtains all form controls in a worksheet. You can use one of the following ways to obtain a specific form control:

    The FormControl.Id and FormControl.Name properties return the form control’s identifier and name.

    #Modify Check Box Form Controls

    Use the CheckBoxFormControl class properties to change checkbox parameters. The code sample below obtains all checkboxes, unchecks them, and enables 3D shading:

    using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
    using System.Linq;
    
    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
    workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");
    
    var formControls = workbook.Worksheets[0].FormControls;
    
    var checkBoxes = formControls.Where(formControl => formControl.FormControlType == FormControlType.CheckBox).Cast<CheckBoxFormControl>();
    foreach (CheckBoxFormControl checkBox in checkBoxes) {
        checkBox.Shading3D = true;
        checkBox.CheckState = FormControlCheckState.Unchecked;
    }
    

    #Remove Check Box Controls

    Call the FormControlCollection.Remove or FormControlCollection.RemoveAt method to remove a form control. The FormControlCollection.Clear() method removes all form controls from a worksheet.

    The code sample below removes all check boxes from a worksheet:

    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
    workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");
    
    var formControls = workbook.Worksheets[0].FormControls;
    
    for (int i = formControls.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (formControls[i].FormControlType == FormControlType.CheckBox)
            formControls.RemoveAt(i);
    }
