Because your title is not a item at all -- its position is completely different
from a \item and it's a title. Eventually something like
\startcheckbox[title={My title}]..\stopcheckbox
But it's an opinion.

Yes; a problem arise if you must modify the margin and/or width a little.
You can use dimension eventually
\showframe

\defineitemgroup[checkbox]
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxMargin
\MyCheckBoxMargin=2em
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxWidth
\MyCheckBoxWidth=2.5em

Make sense. At a certain point I should look at this. But lets try to
walk before I start running. ;-)

\defineitemgroup[checkbox]
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxMargin
\MyCheckBoxMargin=2em
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxWidth
\MyCheckBoxWidth=2.5em
\def\CheckBoxTitle[#1]{
\nop \hskip \dimexpr -\MyCheckBoxWidth-\MyCheckBoxMargin\relax #1
}
I wanted to do something like that, but did not know how. I put
distance also in a variable. I have now:
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxMargin
\MyCheckBoxMargin=2em
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxWidth
\MyCheckBoxWidth=2.5em
\newdimen\MyCheckBoxDistance
\MyCheckBoxDistance=.5em
\definesymbol[checkbox][{[~~~]}]
\defineitemgroup[checkbox]
\setupitemgroup[checkbox][each][packed][margin=\MyCheckBoxMargin,
symbol=checkbox,width=\MyCheckBoxWidth,distance=\MyCheckBoxDistance]
\def\CheckBoxTitle[#1]{
\nop \hskip \dimexpr -\MyCheckBoxWidth-\MyCheckBoxMargin\relax #1
}
It has been some work, but my feedback macros are beginning to become
useful. Thanks everyone.
By the way: what would be a good font to use. At the moment I use:
\setupbodyfont[roman, 12pt]
but layout and typography are not my strong points. So any tips are
appreciated.
A demo of what I have made can be found at:
http://decebal.nl/ConTeXt/sources/feedback-form
and the pdf is at:

[NTG-context] Making checkboxes
I am trying to define a (paper) feedback form. One of the things I
need is checkboxes. A first stab for this (for example I need also a
start text, but I do one step at a time) is, based on TeX by Topic, a
Texnician's Reference page 106:
\def\checkBox#1,{\space\space\space\space[\space\space] #1\par}
\def\checkBoxes(#1,){\xcheckBoxes#1, xxx,}
\def\endpiece{xxx}
\def\xcheckBoxes#1,{\def\temp{#1}%
\ifx\temp\endpiece
\else \checkbox#1,%
\expandafter\xcheckBox
\fi}
\starttext
Some text
\checkBoxes Yes, No, A little bit,xxx
\stoptext
I would expect:
Some text
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] A little bit
but I get:
Some text
es, No, A little bit,xxx
What am I doing wrong?
Something else: how do I 'eat' spaces between parameters. I would like
to have:
\checkBoxes Yes,No,A little bit,xxx
and:
\checkBoxes Yes, No, A little bit,xxx
the same result.
And is there a way to know how many parameters a macro gets? Like ${#}
in Bash. That would make things easier.

Re: [NTG-context] Making checkboxes
I ran it with batchmode and silent, so I did not see errors, but it is
not correct.
I get:
! Use of \CheckBoxes doesn't match its definition.
l.19 \CheckBoxes Y
es, No, A little bit
H gives:
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.
So '\def\CheckBoxes[#1]%' is wrong, but what should it be?

How about this:
\def\CheckBoxes[#1]%
{\startitemize[packed]
\processcommalist[#1]\doCheckBoxes
\stopitemize}
\def\doCheckBoxes#1%
{\sym{\mathematics{\Box}}#1\par}
Does not work either.
I have now (I added a SimpleCheckBoxes that does reasonable what I
want, but where you always need three checkbox parameters):
\def\SimpleCheckBoxes#1,#2,#3,#4\par{
#1\par
\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #2\par
\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #3\par
\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #4\par}

Use the command in the correct way: \CheckBoxes[Yes, No, A little bit]
\def\CheckBoxes[#1]%
{\startitemize[packed][margin=2.5em,width=2em]
\processcommalist[#1]\doCheckBoxes
\stopitemize}
\def\doCheckBoxes#1%
{\sym{[\hspace[big]]}#1\par} % \hspace[big] = 1em
For a paragraph delimited version of \Checkboxes you can write
\def\CheckBoxes#1\par
{\startitemize[packed][margin=2.5em,width=2em]
\processcommalist[#1]\doCheckBoxes
\stopitemize}
but this is not very context like.

I start to understand it. Thanks.
I changed it a little. I implemented 'title'. And with startitemize I
got empty space between my 'title' and the checkboxes. So I coded it
like:
\def\CheckBoxes[#1,#2]%
{#1\par
\processcommalist[#2]\doCheckBoxes
}
\def\doCheckBoxes#1%
{\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #1\par
}
\starttext
\CheckBoxes[Intelligent way, Yes, No, A little bit]
\blank
\CheckBoxes[Long list, First, Second, Thirth, Fourth, Fifth]
\blank
\CheckBoxes[Short list, Yes, No]
\stoptext
Is there a way that I do not need al the '\blank' lines. After a
checkbox list, I always want an empty line.

The blank line comes from itemize, you can get rid of it with
\startitemize[joinedup].
So I coded it
like:
\def\CheckBoxes[#1,#2]%
{#1\par
\processcommalist[#2]\doCheckBoxes
}
[...]

Add \blank at the begin and end of your macro:
\def\CheckBoxes[#1][#2]%
{\blank
#1\par
\processcommalist[#2]\...
\blank}
I wonder why need this command when can get the same result with normal context
commands:
\definesymbol[checkbox][{[~~~]}]
\defineitemgroup[checkbox]
\setupitemgroup[checkbox][each][packed][margin=2.5em,symbol=checkbox,width=1.5em,distance=.5em]
\starttext
\startcheckbox
\nop title
\item Yes
\item No
\item A little bit

Or even
\items{Yes, No, A little bit}
maybe with
\setupitems[symbol=checkbox]
Search the main manual for details.

I am still new to ConTeXt, so I did not know this. But in the future I
properly want to work with:
[ ] a [ ] b [ ] c
[ ] d [ ] e [ ] f
[ ] g [ ] h [ ] i
[ ] j [ ] k [ ] l
instead of:
[ ] a
[ ] b
[ ] c
[ ] d
[ ] e
[ ] f
[ ] g
[ ] h
[ ] i
[ ] j
[ ] k
[ ] l
or is that also possible with your way?
