Basic input
CheckBox
Select or clear options. A mixed state shows that only some items are selected.
Example






Usage
Respond to changes
Connect toggled or stateChanged to respond when the box is checked or cleared.
#include <FluentQt/BasicInput.h>
using namespace fluent::basicinput;
auto* checkBox = new CheckBox("Accept terms", this);
auto* status = new Label("State: Unchecked", this);
connect(checkBox, &CheckBox::stateChanged, status, [status](int state) {
status->setText(state == Qt::Checked ? "State: Checked" : "State: Unchecked");
});
auto* disabledOff = new CheckBox("Disabled off", this);
disabledOff->setEnabled(false);
auto* disabledOn = new CheckBox("Disabled on", this);
disabledOn->setChecked(true);
disabledOn->setEnabled(false);import fluentqt
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
check_box = fluentqt.CheckBox("Accept terms")
status = fluentqt.Label("State: Unchecked")
check_box.stateChanged.connect(
lambda state: status.setText(
"State: Checked"
if Qt.CheckState(state) == Qt.CheckState.Checked
else "State: Unchecked"
)
)
disabled_off = fluentqt.CheckBox("Disabled off")
disabled_off.setEnabled(False)
disabled_on = fluentqt.CheckBox("Disabled on")
disabled_on.setChecked(True)
disabled_on.setEnabled(False)Mixed state
Call setTristate(true), then use Qt::PartiallyChecked when only some items are selected.
#include <FluentQt/BasicInput.h>
using namespace fluent::basicinput;
auto* checkBox = new CheckBox("Enable selected items", this);
checkBox->setTristate(true);
checkBox->setCheckState(Qt::PartiallyChecked);
auto* status = new Label("State: Mixed", this);
connect(checkBox, &CheckBox::stateChanged, status, [status](int state) {
status->setText(state == Qt::Checked ? "State: Checked"
: state == Qt::PartiallyChecked
? "State: Mixed"
: "State: Unchecked");
});import fluentqt
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
check_box = fluentqt.CheckBox("Enable selected items")
check_box.setTristate(True)
check_box.setCheckState(Qt.CheckState.PartiallyChecked)
status = fluentqt.Label("State: Mixed")
check_box.stateChanged.connect(
lambda state: status.setText(
"State: Checked"
if Qt.CheckState(state) == Qt.CheckState.Checked
else "State: Mixed"
if Qt.CheckState(state) == Qt.CheckState.PartiallyChecked
else "State: Unchecked"
)
)Select all
The parent checkbox shows Checked, Unchecked, or PartiallyChecked to match its children.
#include <FluentQt/BasicInput.h>
using namespace fluent::basicinput;
auto* selectAll = new CheckBox("Select all", this);
selectAll->setTristate(true);
auto* mail = new CheckBox("Mail", this);
auto* calendar = new CheckBox("Calendar", this);
auto* people = new CheckBox("People", this);
auto updateSelectAll = [=]() {
const int checked = int(mail->isChecked()) + int(calendar->isChecked()) + int(people->isChecked());
selectAll->setCheckState(checked == 0 ? Qt::Unchecked : checked == 3 ? Qt::Checked : Qt::PartiallyChecked);
};
connect(selectAll, &CheckBox::clicked, this, [=]() {
const bool checked = selectAll->checkState() == Qt::Checked;
mail->setChecked(checked);
calendar->setChecked(checked);
people->setChecked(checked);
});
connect(mail, &CheckBox::clicked, this, updateSelectAll);
connect(calendar, &CheckBox::clicked, this, updateSelectAll);
connect(people, &CheckBox::clicked, this, updateSelectAll);import fluentqt
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
select_all = fluentqt.CheckBox("Select all")
select_all.setTristate(True)
mail = fluentqt.CheckBox("Mail")
calendar = fluentqt.CheckBox("Calendar")
people = fluentqt.CheckBox("People")
def update_select_all():
checked = sum(item.isChecked() for item in (mail, calendar, people))
state = (
Qt.CheckState.Unchecked if checked == 0
else Qt.CheckState.Checked if checked == 3
else Qt.CheckState.PartiallyChecked
)
select_all.setCheckState(state)
def apply_select_all():
checked = select_all.checkState() == Qt.CheckState.Checked
mail.setChecked(checked)
calendar.setChecked(checked)
people.setChecked(checked)
select_all.clicked.connect(apply_select_all)
mail.clicked.connect(update_select_all)
calendar.clicked.connect(update_select_all)
people.clicked.connect(update_select_all)API
