Label and Size in JavaScript CheckBox control

08 May 2023 / 1 minute to read

This section explains the different sizes and labels.

Label

The CheckBox caption can be defined by using the label property. This reduces the manual addition of label for CheckBox. You can customize the label position before or after the CheckBox through the labelPosition property.
