Name all your checkboxes with a special 3 character prefix. Have a mouseUp
handler in your card or stack script:
ON mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
put the short name of the selectedobject into theObjectName
IF char 1 to 3 of theObjectName is "chk" THEN -- for example
set the hilite of the selectedobject to not the hilite of
theSelectedObject
END IF
pass mouseUp
END mouseUp
You can also disable the checkboxes, but they are then a shadow grey color.
Unfortunately, changing the foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor of a disabled
checkbox does not override this effect the way it does in a field, so no love
there.
