control:UpdateDisabled()

Only is exposed when the disabled property is not nil. This method updates the disabled state of the checkbox based on the resolved value of the disabled property.

control:UpdateWarning()

Only is exposed when the warning property or the requiresReload property is set. This method updates the warning of the checkbox based on the resolved value of the warning and requiresReload property.
