Forms Support

The Checkbox component can be easily integrated with HTML5 form as well as KendoReact Form (or other third-party solutions).

The form enables you to validate checkbox values and prevent the submission of forms which are in an invalid state.

In addition to the exposed form support settings, the Checkbox provides the same properties and behaves in the same way as a native HTML input[type=checkbox] element.
