Screen readers go into forms mode when they encounter form input fields.Setting the ariaControls prop conveys the ID of the element whose contents or presence are controlled by the checkbox to screen reader users with the aria-controls attribute.Setting checked="indeterminate" conveys the state of the checkbox using aria-checked="mixed".All checkboxes must have unique id values to work correctly with assistive technologies. Heading3 and Heading4 can be used for finer hierarchies of headings. There should be exactly one Heading1 in each screen that serves as the main heading. If an id isn’t provided, then the component generates one. This lets screen reader users know whether a Label is a heading and allows them to navigate quickly to different parts of the app. Use the id prop to provide a unique id attribute value for the checkbox.This prevents merchants from being able to interact with the checkbox, and conveys its inactive state to assistive technologies. Use the disabled prop to apply the HTML disabled attribute to the checkbox.Screen readers convey the state of the checkbox automatically.
