What can I use instead of a checkbox?

If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).

When should you use a checkbox?

Checkboxes are used when there are lists of options and the user may select any number of choices, including zero, one, or several. In other words, each checkbox is independent of all other checkboxes in the list, so checking one box doesn't uncheck the others.

What is the difference between radio box and checkbox?

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.

What are the three states of checkbox?

A tri-state checkbox can be checked, not checked, or partially checked. The condition of being partially checked is based on the selection of child elements.
