    • You can get the value of the selection by using the getter boolean isActivated()
    • You can set the state of this checkbox (and thus enable or disable the content of the group) by using the methods activate() and deactivate()
  • The content, which is a Composite, is accessible with the getter getContent()
  • Use this composite to store elements
