Last Updated : 26 Nov, 2022

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxCheckBox widget is used to display a check box that allows users to select or deselect the checkbox.

The destroy() method is used to destroy the checkboxes. It does not accept any parameter and does not return any value.

Syntax:

$('selector').jqxCheckBox('destroy');
