Here is my declared field in account_voucher.py file,

'type':fields.selection([('dr','Debit'),('cr','Credit')], 'Dr/Cr')

In the view(xml file),

 <field name="type" widget="radio" options='{"horizontal": 1}' />

Right now it is radio button I want to change it to checkbox

To explain this and make it clearer,this type of checkbox that you want to add works only with the manytomany fields,and this field will display one checkbox for each record existing in the model targeted by the relation, according to the given domain if one is specified.Checked records will be added to the relation 

and There’s no way to use this widget to create new items

<field name="field_name" widget="many2many_checkboxes"/>

and as it seems you declared that field as selection filed so you have two options the first is to follow the first method of boolean type or to do like Ankit H had said

you could create boolean fields for each selection and put them in your view definition like this in the .py file:

_columns = {

'dr': fields.boolean('Debit'),
'cr': fields.boolean('Credit'),
}

and in the xml:

<field name="arch" type="xml">

<form>

<group>

<field name="dr" attrs="{'invisible': [('cr','=',True)]}"/>

<field name="cr" attrs="{'invisible': [('dr','=',True)]}"/>

</group>

</form>

</field>

hope it helps you

Hello Bhanukiran,

You could use widget like many2many_checkboxes.

But your field type must be many2many

For example

in .py file.

class type_type(osv.Model):

_name = 'type.type'

_columns = {

'name': fields.char('Name')

}

class your_class_name(osv.Model):

_name = 'your.class.name'

_columns = {

'type_checkbox': fields.many2many('type.type', 'type_help_rel', 'type_id', 'help_id', 'Type')

}

in xml file.

<field name="type_checkbox" widget="many2many_checkboxes"/>

Hope this help for you.

Cheers,

Ankit H Gandhi.
