  I have some checkbox controls within a shape (a box around the checkboxes).

  In Designer mode, When I click on the check box, the shape is always selected.

  How can I select the checkbox underneath the shape?

  I tried CTL-click, but I get an empty properties box.

  Hello Helmar,

  I am not able to reproduce the problem at my end. Please refer the attached video. Could you please share us the video which demonstrates the above issue. Also, please share the exact AR version that you are using.

  Try the following step to avoid the issue:-
  
  1. Right click on CheckBox.
  
  2. Select “Bring to Front” option.
  
  3. Now place it in Shape Control.

  Thanks,
