Check Box

The Check Box control allows you to add and configure a check box to indicate a Checked / Unchecked / Indeterminate state in a report. There are a variety of check box styles available.

To add a check box to a report, drag the Check Box item from the Standard Controls Tool Box tab and drop it onto the report.
