A method for toggling checkbox status, implemented as a software program installed and operating on a computer comprising a computer processor coupled to computer memory. Embodiments of the invention include detecting a touch event on a checkbox, toggling the status of the checkbox, and repeatedly, for a multiplicity of repetitions, carrying out the steps of detecting a drag event for each additional checkbox onto which a user drags the pointer, wherein the user drags the pointer onto at least one additional checkbox, and toggling the status of each additional touch box for which a drag event is detected. Embodiment also include detecting a subsequent drag event for at least one additional checkbox onto which a user drags the pointer more than one during a click-and-drag operation and toggling the selection status of the additional checkbox for which the subsequent drag event is detected to the opposite selection of the additional checkbox when the additional drag event is detected.
