               java.lang.String styleName)

wrap

public static SimpleCheckBox wrap(Element element)

Creates a SimpleCheckBox widget that wraps an existing <input type='checkbox'> element. This element must already be attached to the document. If the element is removed from the document, you must call RootPanel.detachNow(Widget).

getFormValue

public java.lang.String getFormValue()

Returns the value property of the input element that backs this widget. This is the value that will be associated with the check box name and submitted to the server if a FormPanel that holds it is submitted and the box is checked.

Don't confuse this with getValue(), which returns true or false if the widget is checked.

true if the check box is checked, false otherwise. Will not return null
