Introduction to modern Checkbox control
Checkboxes have been around in Power Apps ever since Power Apps came into existence. So although it isn't a new control, the modern version has some minor differences (read: additions and some subtractions) when compared to the classic checkbox control. This will probably be the shortest modern control blog post as the differences between the classic and modern checkbox are very minimal.
New Properties
- Label - This replaces the text property of the classic checkbox. The default value is "Checkbox"
Some of the properties to style the checkbox color and checkmark fill are gone. This might seem a bit crippling to some makers, but trust me, losing some of these properties has been a blessing for me. Lack of these properties helps ensure that the controls look neat and clean.
Using modern Checkbox control
The one property that some of the modern controls have lost in comparison to their classic versions is the Reset property. I do miss it at times. I used that property to reset controls to their default values using a variable. Now that the Reset property isn't there anymore, you can still reset controls by using the Reset function.
