How to set value of checkbox content control as true or false.
I know how to do it in checkbox form but I am unable to find it using API for content control

Hi @arshaim39 :wave:

It looks like you might want to use this method to set the checkbox value:
https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/office-api/usage-api/text-document-api/ApiCheckBoxForm/Methods/SetChecked/

We’ve come across a similar challenge with checkboxes before in this thread:
https://forum.onlyoffice.com/t/the-radio-box-created-using-builderapi-could-not-be-selected/5187

Could you let me know if I’ve got your request right?

Thanks for your response

I know this method to check the checkbox but it just works in form not content control checkbox

I want to check the checkbox programitically using execute method but I don’t know which method it will take as first parameter

Basically I want to have checkboxes using content control and when someone select any checkbox, other checkboxes should unchecked just like how radio input works but all this I want using content control not using form methids

Is there any update?

Currently, we do have methods like AddContentControlCheckBox and ContentControlCheckBoxProperties

https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/plugin-and-macros/interacting-with-editors/methods/text-document-api/Api/Methods/AddContentControlCheckBox/

https://api.onlyoffice.com/docs/plugin-and-macros/interacting-with-editors/methods/text-document-api/Enumeration/ContentControlCheckBoxProperties/

but as for dynamically unchecking other checkboxes when one is selected — similar to radio button behavior — I’m not sure if that’s fully supported at the moment.

Hey @arshaim39 :hugs:
Apologies for the long wait — only now we were able to take the time to review this.
We have created a bug report regarding the inability to change the state of a checkbox added via the API (SetChecked).

Once this functionality is correctly implemented, we will update this post!
