    Demo Program - Table with checkboxes

    This clever solution was sugged by GitHub user robochopbg.
    The beauty of the simplicity is that the checkbox is simply another column in the table. When the checkbox changes
        state, then the data in the table is changed and the table is updated in the Table element.
    A big thank you again to user robochopbg!
