CupertinoCheckbox #

Bases: ConstrainedControl

A macOS style checkbox. Checkbox allows to select one or more items from a group, or switch between two mutually exclusive options (checked or unchecked, on or off).

active_color #

active_color: ColorValue | None = ACTIVE_BLUE

The color used to fill checkbox when it is checked/selected.

If fill_color returns a non-null color in the ControlState.SELECTED state, it will be used instead of this color.

animate_offset: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the offset property.

More information here.

animate_opacity #

animate_opacity: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the opacity property.

More information here.

animate_position: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the positioning properties (left, right, top and bottom).

More information here.

animate_rotation #

animate_rotation: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the rotate property.

More information here.

Whether this control will be selected as the initial focus. If there is more than one control on a page with autofocus set, then the first one added to the page will get focus.

badge #

badge: BadgeValue | None = None

A badge to show on top of this control.

border_side #

border_side: ControlStateValue[BorderSide] | None = None

Defines the checkbox's border sides in all or specific ControlState states.

The distance that the child's bottom edge is inset from the bottom of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

check_color #

check_color: ColorValue | None = None

The color to use for the check icon when this checkbox is checked.

col #

col: ResponsiveNumber = 12

If a parent of this control is a ResponsiveRow, this property is used to determine how many virtual columns of a screen this control will span.

Can be a number or a dictionary configured to have a different value for specific breakpoints, for example col={"sm": 6}.

This control spans the 12 virtual columns by default.

Dimensions
Breakpoint Dimension
xs <576px
sm ≥576px
md ≥768px
lg ≥992px
xl ≥1200px
xxl ≥1400px

data #

data: Any = skip_field()

Arbitrary data of any type.

disabled #

disabled: bool = False

Every control has disabled property which is False by default - control and all its children are enabled.

Note

The value of this property will be propagated down to all children controls recursively.

Example

For example, if you have a form with multiple entry controls you can disable them all together by disabling container:

ft.Column(
    disabled = True,
    controls=[
        ft.TextField(),
        ft.TextField()
    ]
)

expand #

expand: bool | int | None = None

Specifies whether/how this control should expand to fill available space in its parent layout.

More information here.

Note

Has effect only if the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

expand_loose #

expand_loose: bool = False

Allows the control to expand along the main axis if space is available, but does not require it to fill all available space.

More information here.

Note

If expand_loose is True, it will have effect only if:

  • expand is not None and
  • the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

fill_color #

fill_color: ControlStateValue[ColorValue] | None = None

The color used to fill the checkbox in all or specific ControlState states.

Supported states: ControlState.SELECTED, ControlState.HOVERED, ControlState.DISABLED, ControlState.FOCUSED, and ControlState.DEFAULT.

active_color is used as fallback color when the checkbox is in the SELECTED state, CupertinoColors.WHITE at 50% opacity is used as fallback color when this checkbox is in the DISABLED state, and CupertinoColors.WHITE otherwise.

focus_color #

focus_color: ColorValue | None = None

The color used for the checkbox's border shadow when it has the input focus.

height #

height: Number | None = None

Imposed Control height in virtual pixels.

key #

key: (
    str | int | float | bool | ValueKey | ScrollKey | None
) = None

label #

label_position #

label_position: LabelPosition = RIGHT

Defines on which side of the checkbox the label should be shown.

left #

left: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's left edge is inset from the left of the stack.

Note

mouse_cursor #

mouse_cursor: MouseCursor | None = None

The cursor for a mouse pointer entering or hovering over this checkbox.

offset #

offset: OffsetValue | None = None

Applies a translation transformation before painting the control.

The translation is expressed as an Offset scaled to the control's size. So, Offset(x=0.25, y=0), for example, will result in a horizontal translation of one quarter the width of this control.

Example

The following example displays container at 0, 0 top left corner of a stack as transform applies -1 * 100, -1 * 100 (offset * control's size) horizontal and vertical translations to the control:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(
        ft.Stack(
            width=1000,
            height=1000,
            controls=[
                ft.Container(
                    bgcolor="red",
                    width=100,
                    height=100,
                    left=100,
                    top=100,
                    offset=ft.Offset(-1, -1),
                )
            ],
        )
    )

ft.run(main)

on_animation_end #

on_animation_end: (
    ControlEventHandler[ConstrainedControl] | None
) = None

Called when animation completes.

Can be used to chain multiple animations.

The data property of the event handler argument contains the name of the animation.

More information here.

on_blur #

on_blur: ControlEventHandler[CupertinoCheckbox] | None = (
    None
)

Called when this checkbox has lost focus.

on_change #

on_change: ControlEventHandler[CupertinoCheckbox] | None = (
    None
)

Called when the state of this checkbox is changed.

on_focus #

on_focus: ControlEventHandler[CupertinoCheckbox] | None = (
    None
)

Called when this checkbox has received focus.

opacity #

opacity: Number = 1.0

Defines the transparency of the control.

Value ranges from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque without any transparency).

page #

page: Page | PageView | None

The page (of type Page or PageView) to which this control belongs to.

parent #

parent: BaseControl | None

The direct ancestor(parent) of this control.

It defaults to None and will only have a value when this control is mounted (added to the page tree).

The Page control (which is the root of the tree) is an exception - it always has parent=None.

right #

right: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's right edge is inset from the right of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

rotate #

rotate: RotateValue | None = None

Transforms this control using a rotation around its center.

The value of rotate property could be one of the following types:

  • number - a rotation in clockwise radians. Full circle 360° is math.pi * 2 radians, 90° is pi / 2, 45° is pi / 4, etc.
  • Rotate - allows to specify rotation angle as well as alignment - the location of rotation center.
Example

For example: 

ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    rotate=Rotate(angle=0.25 * pi, alignment=ft.Alignment.CENTER_LEFT)
)

rtl #

rtl: bool = False

Whether the text direction of the control should be right-to-left (RTL).

scale #

scale: ScaleValue | None = None

Scales this control along the 2D plane. Default scale factor is 1.0, meaning no-scale.

Setting this property to 0.5, for example, makes this control twice smaller, while 2.0 makes it twice larger.

Different scale multipliers can be specified for x and y axis, by setting Control.scale property to an instance of Scale class. Either scale or scale_x and scale_y could be specified, but not all of them.

Example 
ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    scale=ft.Scale(scale_x=2, scale_y=0.5)
)

semantics_label #

semantics_label: str | None = None

The semantic label for the checkbox that will be announced by screen readers.

This is announced by assistive technologies (e.g TalkBack/VoiceOver) and not shown on the UI.

shape #

shape: OutlinedBorder | None = None

The shape of this checkbox.

Internally defaults to RoundedRectangleBorder(radius=4).

tooltip #

tooltip: TooltipValue | None = None

The tooltip ot show when this control is hovered over.

top #

top: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's top edge is inset from the top of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

tristate #

tristate: bool = False

If True the checkbox's value can be True, False, or None.

value #

value: bool | None = False

The value of this checkbox.

  • If True the checkbox is checked.
  • If False the checkbox is unchecked.
  • If None and tristate is True the checkbox is indeterminate. (displayed as a dash)

visible #

visible: bool = True

Every control has visible property which is True by default - control is rendered on the page. Setting visible to False completely prevents control (and all its children if any) from rendering on a page canvas. Hidden controls cannot be focused or selected with a keyboard or mouse and they do not emit any events.

width #
