CheckboxMenuItem | public class CheckboxMenuItem extends MenuItem implements ItemSelectable(Code) | | This class represents a check box that can be included in a menu.
Clicking on the check box in the menu changes its state from
"on" to "off" or from "off" to "on."
The following picture depicts a menu which contains an instance
of CheckBoxMenuItem :
The item labeled Check shows a check box menu item
in its "off" state.
When a check box menu item is selected, AWT sends an item event to
the item. Since the event is an instance of ItemEvent ,
the processEvent method examines the event and passes
it along to processItemEvent . The latter method redirects
the event to any ItemListener objects that have
registered an interest in item events generated by this menu item.
