    Note! Using a ListDataProvider instead of a InMemoryDataProvider is recommended to get access to ListDataView API by using HasListDataView.setItems(ListDataProvider).
    
    Specified by:
    
    setItems in interface HasDataView<T,Void,CheckboxGroupDataView<T>>
    
    Parameters:

    Parameters:
    
    dataProvider - ListDataProvider providing items to the component.
    
    Returns:
    
    ListDataView providing access to the items
  - getListDataView
```
public CheckboxGroupListDataView<T> getListDataView()
```
    Gets the list data view for the checkbox group. This data view should only be used when the items are in-memory and set with:
    If the items are not in-memory an exception is thrown.
    Specified by:
    
    getListDataView in interface HasListDataView<T,CheckboxGroupListDataView<T>>

    Specified by:
    
    getGenericDataView in interface HasDataView<T,Void,CheckboxGroupDataView<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    the generic DataView instance implementing CheckboxGroupDataView
  - setItems
```
@Deprecated
public void setItems(Stream<T> streamOfItems)
```
    Deprecated. Because the stream is collected to a list anyway, use HasListDataView.setItems(Collection) instead.
  - setDataProvider
```
@Deprecated
public void setDataProvider(DataProvider<T,?> dataProvider)
```
    Deprecated. use instead one of the setItems methods which provide access to either CheckboxGroupListDataView or CheckboxGroupDataView
  - updateSelection

    Duplicate items (in both add and remove sets) are ignored.
    
    Specified by:
    
    updateSelection in interface MultiSelect<CheckboxGroup<T>,T>
    
    Parameters:
    
    addedItems - the items to add, not null
    
    removedItems - the items to remove, not null
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(Set<T> value)
```
    Sets the value of this component. If the new value is not equal to the previous value, fires a value change event.
    The component doesn't accept null values. The value of a checkbox group without any selected items is an empty set. You can use the HasValue.clear() method to set the empty value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setValue in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<CheckboxGroup<T>,Set<T>>,Set<T>>

  - getSelectedItems
```
public Set<T> getSelectedItems()
```
    Description copied from interface: MultiSelect
    
    Returns an immutable set of the currently selected items. It is safe to invoke other SelectionModel methods while iterating over the set.
    Implementation note: the iteration order of the items in the returned set should be well-defined and documented by the implementing class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSelectedItems in interface MultiSelect<CheckboxGroup<T>,T>
    
    Returns:
    
    the items in the current selection, not null
  - addSelectionListener
```
public Registration addSelectionListener(MultiSelectionListener<CheckboxGroup<T>,T> listener)
```
    Description copied from interface: MultiSelect

    addSelectionListener in interface MultiSelect<CheckboxGroup<T>,T>
    
    Parameters:

  - onEnabledStateChanged
```
public void onEnabledStateChanged(boolean enabled)
```
    Description copied from class: Component

    By default this sets or removes the 'disabled' attribute from the element. This can be overridden to have custom handling.
    
    Overrides:
    
    onEnabledStateChanged in class Component
    
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - the new enabled state of the component
  - setReadOnly
```
public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)
```
    Description copied from interface: HasValue
    
    Sets the read-only mode of this HasValue to given mode. The user can't change the value when in read-only mode.
    A HasValue with a visual component in read-only mode typically looks visually different to signal to the user that the value cannot be edited.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setReadOnly in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<CheckboxGroup<T>,Set<T>>,Set<T>>

    isReadOnly in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<CheckboxGroup<T>,Set<T>>,Set<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    false if the user can modify the value, true if not.
  - getItemEnabledProvider
```
public SerializablePredicate<T> getItemEnabledProvider()
```
    Returns the item enabled predicate.
    
    Returns:
    
    the item enabled predicate

  - setItemEnabledProvider
```
public void setItemEnabledProvider(SerializablePredicate<T> itemEnabledProvider)
```
    Sets the item enabled predicate for this checkbox group. The predicate is applied to each item to determine whether the item should be enabled (true) or disabled (false). Disabled items are displayed as grayed out and the user cannot select them. The default predicate always returns true (all the items are enabled).
    
    Parameters:

  - setItemLabelGenerator
```
public void setItemLabelGenerator(ItemLabelGenerator<T> itemLabelGenerator)

Subclasses can override this method to define an alternative comparison method instead of Object.equals(Object).
    
    Overrides:
    
    valueEquals in class AbstractField<CheckboxGroup<T>,Set<T>>
    
    Parameters:
