To reproduce: Inspect a RadCheckBox with UI Spy or Inspector and execute the DoDefaultAction method. You will see that nothing will happen. Workaround: Use the following classes: public class RadCheckBoxEx : RadCheckBox { protected override AccessibleObject CreateAccessibilityInstance() { return new RadCheckBoxAccessibleObjectEx(this, this.Name); } } public class RadCheckBoxAccessibleObjectEx : RadCheckBoxAccessibleObject { public RadCheckBoxAccessibleObjectEx(RadCheckBox owner, string name) : base(owner, name) { } public override void DoDefaultAction() { (this.OwnerElement as RadCheckBox).ToggleState = this.GetNextToggleState((this.OwnerElement as RadCheckBox).ToggleState); } private ToggleState GetNextToggleState(ToggleState toggleState) { if (toggleState == ToggleState.On) { if ((this.OwnerElement as RadCheckBox).IsThreeState) { return ToggleState.Indeterminate; } return ToggleState.Off; } else if (toggleState == ToggleState.Indeterminate) { return ToggleState.Off; } return ToggleState.On; } }
