Class CheckBox

CheckBox

Deprecated. The UI service was deprecated on December 11, 2014. To create user interfaces, use the HTML service instead.

A standard check box widget.

Here is an example of how to use this widget:

 

 function doGet() {
   var app = UiApp.createApplication();
   var handler = app.createServerHandler("change");
   var check = app.createCheckBox("click me").addValueChangeHandler(handler);
   app.add(check);
   return app;
 }

 function change() {
   var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
   app.add(app.createLabel("The value changed!"));
   return app;
 }
 

Internally, UiApp widgets are built on top of the Google Web Toolkit, and it can sometimes be helpful to look at the GWT documentation directly. You can find the CheckBox documentation here.

Deprecated methods

addBlurHandler(handler)

Deprecated. This function is deprecated and should not be used in new scripts.

Add a handler for blur events (losing keyboard focus).

Note that you can have multiple handlers for the same event on the same widget. They will be called in the order that they were added to the widget, although ServerHandlers may appear to happen simultaneously.

The handler passes back some information to the server about what happened. This information can be accessed as follows:

 

 function doGet() {
   var app = UiApp.createApplication();
   var button = app.createButton("a button");
   var handler = app.createServerHandler("handlerFunction");
   button.addBlurHandler(handler);
   app.add(button);
   return app;
 }

 function handlerFunction(eventInfo) {
   var parameter = eventInfo.parameter;
   // the type of event, in this case "blur".
   var eventType = parameter.eventType;
   // the id of the widget that fired this event.
   var source = parameter.source;
 }
 

In addition, the values of certain widgets can be sent up with the event as well, as "callback elements." See the documentation of ServerHandler for more information.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
handler	Handler	the handler to execute when the event occurs. This can be a ClientHandler or a ServerHandler.

Return

CheckBox — the CheckBox itself, useful for chaining.
