### Description

Initializes a new instance of the Condition class.

### Syntax

#### Condition(CheckFormField, bool)

Creates an instance of the Condition class that tests whether the [CheckFormField](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/checkformfield/llms-full.txt)'s [Checked](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/checkformfield/checked-property/llms-full.txt) property value equals the specified boolean value. The [Condition.ComparisonValueType](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/condition/comparisonvaluetype-property/llms-full.txt) property is set to `ComparisonValueTypes.CheckState`.

```csharp
public Condition(CheckFormField formField, bool isChecked);
```

```vbnet
Public Sub New(formField As CheckFormField, isChecked As Boolean)
```

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| formField | Specifies the [form field](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/condition/formfield-property/llms-full.txt) whose property value is to be compared with the condition's comparison value. |
| isChecked | Specifies the value that the `CheckFormField.Checked` property must have to fulfill the condition. |

#### Condition(TextFormField, Condition.ComparisonOperators, string)

Creates an instance of the Condition class that compares the [TextFormField](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/textformfield/llms-full.txt)'s [Text](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/textfield/text-property/llms-full.txt) property with the specified string value. If that value is null or an empty string, the condition's comparison value is interpreted as `ComparisonValueTypes.NoValue`. Otherwise as `ComparisonValueTypes.CustomText`.

```csharp
public Condition(TextFormField formField, Condition.ComparisonOperators comparisonOperator, string comparisonValue);
```

```vbnet
Public Sub New(formField As TextFormField, comparisonOperator As Condition.ComparisonOperators, comparisonValue As String)
```

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| formField | Specifies the [form field](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/condition/formfield-property/llms-full.txt) whose property value is to be compared with the condition's comparison value. |
| comparisonOperator | Specifies the [operator](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/condition/comparisonoperator-property/llms-full.txt) that is used to compare the condition's form field value with the specified comparison value. |
| comparisonValue | Specifies the [value](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/condition/comparisonvalue-property/llms-full.txt) that is compared with the condition's form field value. |

#### Condition(TextFormField, Condition.ComparisonOperators, string, Condition.TextComparisonFlags)

Creates an instance of the Condition class that compares the [TextFormField](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/textformfield/llms-full.txt)'s [Text](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/textfield/text-property/llms-full.txt) property with the specified string value. The `textComparisonFlag` parameter determines whether the comparison value is interpreted as `ComparisonValueTypes.CustomText` or `ComparisonValueTypes.Regex`. If the `comparisonValue` parameter is null or an empty string, a `System.ArgumentException` is thrown.

```csharp
public Condition(TextFormField formField, Condition.ComparisonOperators comparisonOperator, string comparisonValue, Condition.TextComparisonFlags textComparisonFlag);
```

```vbnet
Public Sub New(formField As TextFormField, comparisonOperator As Condition.ComparisonOperators, comparisonValue As String, textComparisonFlag As Condition.TextComparisonFlags)
