## Description

A GtkCheckButton places a discrete GtkToggleButton next to a widget, (usually a GtkLabel). See the section on GtkToggleButton widgets for more information about toggle/check buttons.

The important signal ( "toggled" ) is also inherited from GtkToggleButton.

### struct GtkCheckButton

### gtk_check_button_new_with_label ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_check_button_new_with_label     (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkCheckButton with a GtkLabel to the right of it.

`label` : | the text for the check button.
Returns : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_check_button_new_with_mnemonic  (const gchar *label);

Returns : | a new GtkCheckButton
