## PUBLIC MEMBER DESCRIPTIONS

- Gtk\_CheckButton::**Gtk\_CheckButton** ();

  Create an empty check button. .\
   With an empty button, you can Gtk\_Button::**add**() a widget such as a Gtk\_Pixmap or Gtk\_Box.

If you just wish to add a Gtk\_Label, you may want to\
  use the Gtk\_CheckButton(const string &label) ctor \
  directly instead.\

- Gtk\_CheckButton::**Gtk\_CheckButton** (*const string &label*);

  Create a check button with a label. .\
   You won't be able to add a widget in this button since it already has a Gtk\_Label in it.\

- signal void Gtk\_CheckButton::**draw\_indicator** (*GdkRectangle\**);

  Emited on button redraw to update indicator..\
   Triggered when the button is redrawn (e.g.after being toggled) Overload this signal if you want to implement your own check button look. Otherwise, you most likely don't care about it. The GdkRectangle specifies the area of the widget which will get redrawn.\
