/**
 * This class represents a check box that can be included in a menu.
 * Selecting the check box in the menu changes its state from
 * "on" to "off" or from "off" to "on."
 * <p>
 * The following picture depicts a menu which contains an instance
 * of <code>CheckBoxMenuItem</code>:
 * <p>
 * <img src="doc-files/MenuBar-1.gif" 
 * alt="Menu labeled Examples, containing items Basic, Simple, Check, and More Examples. The Check item is a CheckBoxMenuItem instance, in the off state."
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * The item labeled <code>Check</code> shows a check box menu item
 * in its "off" state.
 * <p>
 * When a check box menu item is selected, AWT sends an item event to
 * the item. Since the event is an instance of <code>ItemEvent</code>,
 * the <code>processEvent</code> method examines the event and passes
 * it along to <code>processItemEvent</code>. The latter method redirects
 * the event to any <code>ItemListener</code> objects that have
 * registered an interest in item events generated by this menu item.
