Turn off the autoHilite of the checkbox, and leave the
script of the checkbox empty. Now it won't be hilited
unless you set its hilite from a script.


Pardon the intrusion, but it may be worth noting that an unclickable checkbox is a violation of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and of general UI design rules about user expectations. I'd respectfully suggest some other way of indicating the user's connected state than a checkbox he can't click on or change. I guarantee you'll have frustrated and confused users.

A text label whose contents changes from CONNECTED to NOT CONNECTED would be as easy to design and code and be much more meaningful in the bargain.

Just MHO.

============
How about importing a red and a green graphic that look like LEDs? Green for connected, red for not. (Or, if you don't want anything fancy, just use the drawing tools and make a red and green circle right in Rev.)Hide and show as appropriate.
