== Details ==
For checkbuttons, setting the label of the checkbutton works differently from normal buttons. Using MyCheckButton:SetText("monkey"); will not give you a visible result. Instead, you need to address the text property of the checkbuttons invisible FontString frame. The FontString frame is named "<nowiki><checkButtonName></nowiki>Text", so to address it, use the following Lua code:
getglobal(MyCheckButton:GetName() .. "Text"):SetText("Monkey");
