# SelectionList
!!! tip "Added in version 0.??.0"
A widget for showing a vertical list check boxes.
- [x] Focusable
- [ ] Container
## Examples
A selection list is designed to be built up of single-line prompts (which
can be Rich renderables) and an associated unique value.
### Selections as tuples
A selection list can be built with tuples, either of two or three values in
length. Each tuple must contain a prompt and a value, and it can also
optionally contain a flag for the initial selected state of the option.
