Customizing shape

The check box shape can be customized using the CornerRadius property. This property specifies uniform radius value for every corner of the check box.

C#

SfCheckBox checkBox = new SfCheckBox(this);
checkBox.Text = "CheckBox";
checkBox.Checked = true;
checkBox.CornerRadius = 5.0f;

Customizing state color

The default state colors can be customized using the ButtonTintList property. The checked/unchecked/indeterminate state color is updated with ColorStateList to the ButtonTintList.

C#

int[][] states ={new int[]{ Android.Resource.Attribute.StateChecked },                            
                new int[]{Syncfusion.Buttons.Android.Resource.Attribute.state_indeterminate},
		new int[]{-Android.Resource.Attribute.StateChecked }};
int[] colors = { Color.Green,  Color.Purple, Color.Violet};

SfCheckBox check = new SfCheckBox(this);
check.Text = "CheckBox";
check.Checked = true;            
check.ButtonTintList = new ColorStateList(states, colors);
SfCheckBox uncheck = new SfCheckBox(this);
uncheck.Text = "CheckBox";            
uncheck.ButtonTintList = new ColorStateList(states, colors);
SfCheckBox indeterminate = new SfCheckBox(this);
indeterminate.Checked = null;
indeterminate.IsThreeState = true;
indeterminate.Text = "CheckBox";
indeterminate.ButtonTintList = new ColorStateList(states, colors);

BorderWidth

The border thickness of the tick box in the checkbox can be customized with the BorderWidth property.

C#

//unchecked state and its color
int[][] states = { new int[] { -Android.Resource.Attribute.StateChecked } };
int[] colors = { Color.Blue};

SfCheckBox normalSizedCheckBox = new SfCheckBox(this)
{
Text = "Hello",
BorderWidth = 2,
TextSize = 20,
ButtonTintList = new Android.Content.Res.ColorStateList(states,colors)
};

SfCheckBox mediumSizedCheckBox = new SfCheckBox(this)
{
Text = "Hello",
BorderWidth = 4,
TextSize = 25,
ButtonTintList = new Android.Content.Res.ColorStateList(states, colors)
};

SfCheckBox maximumSizedCheckBox = new SfCheckBox(this)
{
Text = "Hello",
BorderWidth = 6,
TextSize = 30,
ButtonTintList = new Android.Content.Res.ColorStateList(states, colors)
};

Setting caption text appearance

You can customize the display text appearance of the SfCheckBox control using the following properties:

• SetTextColor: Changes the color of the text.
• TextAlignment: Changes the horizontal alignment of the caption text.
• Typeface: Changes the font family of the text and sets font attributes(bold/italic/none) of the caption text.
• TextSize: Sets font size of the caption text.

C#

SfCheckBox caption = new SfCheckBox(this);
caption.Checked = true;
caption.Text = "CheckBox";
caption.SetTextColor(Color.Violet);
caption.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
caption.Typeface = Typeface.Create("Arial", TypefaceStyle.Bold);
caption.TextSize = 20;
