Examples

The following code example creates a check box control that derives from the CheckBox class and creates a custom Control.ControlAccessibleObject for the derived class to use. The derived class, MyCheckBox, has an Appearance of Button by default so it appears as a toggle button. The derived Control.ControlAccessibleObject class, MyCheckBoxControlAccessibleObject, overrides three properties to account for the difference in appearance.
