@JavaBean(description="A menu item which can be selected or deselected.") public class JCheckBoxMenuItem extends JMenuItem implements SwingConstants, Accessible

A menu item that can be selected or deselected. If selected, the menu item typically appears with a checkmark next to it. If unselected or deselected, the menu item appears without a checkmark. Like a regular menu item, a check box menu item can have either text or a graphic icon associated with it, or both.

Either isSelected/setSelected orgetState/setState can be used to determine/specify the menu item's selection state. The preferred methods are isSelected andsetSelected, which work for all menus and buttons. The getState and setState methods exist for compatibility with other component sets.

Menu items can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by[Action](Action.html)s. Using anAction with a menu item has many benefits beyond directly configuring a menu item. Refer to Swing Components Supporting Action for more details, and you can find more information in How to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Some times it is required to select several check box menu items from a menu. In this case it is useful that clicking on one check box menu item does not close the menu. Such behavior can be controlled either by clientJComponent.putClientProperty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) or the Look and FeelUIManager.put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) property named"CheckBoxMenuItem.doNotCloseOnMouseClick". The default value isfalse. Setting the property to true prevents the menu from closing when it is clicked by the mouse. If the client property is set its value is always used; otherwise the L&F property is queried. Note: some L&Fs may ignore this property. All built-in L&Fs inherit this behaviour.

For further information and examples of using check box menu items, see How to Use Menus, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
