## Implemented Interfaces

GtkCheckButton implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkActivatable.

## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

A GtkCheckButton places a discrete GtkToggleButton next to a widget, (usually a GtkLabel). See the section on GtkToggleButton widgets for more information about toggle/check buttons.

The important signal ('toggled') is also inherited from GtkToggleButton.

## Functions

### gtk_check_button_new ()

    GtkWidget *

a GtkWidget.

### gtk_check_button_new_with_label ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_check_button_new_with_label (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkCheckButton with a GtkLabel to the right of it.

#### Parameters

label | the text for the check button. |

### gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic (const gchar *label);

#### Returns

a new GtkCheckButton
