A checkbox control has two properties - checked-state and text. These
are independant of each other. Setting one does not effect the other.

So if the user or your program sets the check-state, you also have to
set the text state appropriately. This makes some sense because the 
text may not always be "yes" an "no" in some applications.

There is a setChecked() and a setText() routine to cater for this
requirement.
