Usage & Behavior
General guidelines
- If it is disabled, the cursor will indicate that the selection cannot be made.
- Checkboxes require the use of a button to apply the settings once they are selected.
Only one option that can be selected or deselected, e.g. accept terms of use. use a single checkbox.
A group or a list of options that can be selected independently of each other. use checkbox group.
- Do not use a checkbox (or a checkbox group) if:
- Space is constrained → use a DropDown menu.
- The user needs to select a single mutually exclusive choice within a group → use Radio Buttons.
- The user may need to enter a choice that is not pre-defined → use a Combo Box.
- The user needs to select from a range of values → use a Slider.
- If the user needs to choose multiple options from a large list → consider using a multi combo box instead.
