CheckBox

​
Check Box UI Module.
This represents an hs._asm.axuielement with a AXCheckBox role. It allows checking and modifying the checked status like so:
myButton:checked() == true -- happens to be checked already
myButton:checked(false) == false -- update to unchecked.
myButton.checked:toggle() == true -- toggled back to being checked.
You can also call instances of CheckBox as a function, which will return the checked status:
myButton() == true -- still true
myButton(false) == false -- now false
