17.16.7 checkBox

This element specifies a set of properties which shall be associated with the parent FORMCHECKBOX checkbox form field (17.16.5.20) within the document.

If the parent form field is not a checkbox (i.e. its field code does not have a value of FORMCHECKBOX), then these properties can be ignored.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment for the properties of a checkbox form field:

<w:ffData>
  <w:checkBox>
    <w:size w:val="20" />
    <w:checked w:val="true" />
  </w:checkBox>
</w:ffData>

The checkBox element specifies that it contains a set of properties for the parent checkbox form field. In this case, these properties specify that the size of the checkbox must be exactly 10 points via the size element (17.16.29), and that the current state of the checkbox must be checked via the checked element (17.16.8). end example]
