#353 – Binding a Three-State CheckBox to a Nullable Bool

Because a three-state CheckBox can take on any one of three different values, its current value can’t be represented by a simple bool.  A bool can only take on true and false values.

A three-state CheckBox can instead be bound to a nullable bool (represented by bool?), which can take on three different values.

    true  (checked)
    false  (not checked)
    null  (indeterminate)

In the example below, we bind a CheckBox control’s IsChecked property to a nullable bool property.

        <CheckBox Content="Happy" IsChecked="{Binding IsHappy}" IsThreeState="True"/>
