CupertinoCheckbox class
A macOS style checkbox.
The checkbox itself does not maintain any state. Instead, when the state of the checkbox changes, the widget calls the onChanged callback. Most widgets that use a checkbox will listen for the onChanged callback and rebuild the checkbox with a new value to update the visual appearance of the checkbox.
The checkbox can optionally display three values - true, false, and null - if tristate is true. When value is null a dash is displayed. By default tristate is false and the checkbox's value must be true or false.
In the Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), checkboxes are encouraged for use on macOS, but is silent about their use on iOS. If a multi-selection component is needed on iOS, the HIG encourages the developer to use switches (CupertinoSwitch in Flutter) instead, or to find a creative custom solution.
