Checkbox Usage In a list of things, checkboxes for selection should appear 'before' the text (so, to the left in a left-to-right language like English). This allows you to align the items to the left while still keeping the checkboxes aligned without adding any more whitespace to the page.

Solution: if you want to offer a default selection, choose the safest or most convenient option. Additionally, don't use checkboxes if you require the user to make an active choice. As the Salesforce team points out, it's not always clear if a user has left a checkbox intentionally or unintentionally blank in forms.

Checkboxes and radio buttons are elements for making selections. Checkboxes allow the user to choose items from a fixed number of alternatives, while radio buttons allow the user to choose exactly one item from a list of several predefined alternatives.

Use positive wording for checkbox label Avoid negations such as “Don't send me more email,” which would mean that the user would have to check the box in order for something not to happen. Checkboxes should always be used with positive commands, not negative like “do not ..”

A checkbox is a square button with a check to denote its current state. Checkboxes allow the user to select one or more items from a set. Checkboxes can be used to turn an option on or off. Unlike radio buttons, changes in the states of one checkbox do not usually affect other checkboxes.

We can create checkBox at design time by dragging a checkbox control from the ToolBox and then dropping it on the windows form. Then, we can go to the properties of the checkbox control and can modify it. To create a checkbox at runtime, we need to use the CheckBox class.

When to use a radio button. If you want the user to select more than one item then you should rather use checkboxes. Depending on your design rules, if there are more than five or six items to choose from, rather use a dropdown. Yes, yes, I know that they are clunky, but they save a lot of space in your design.
