Vba checkbox control in Excel
This control is used to give users, the facility to select more than one choice of interest.
This usually is used, when there is a need to choose more than one value.
This is generally seen in the websites while creating new accounts.
The checkbox is exact opposite to a optionbutton, where only one selection is possible.

The user may be interested in more than one sport.
In such cases, Checkbox is used, where the user can select as many as choices of his interest.
