But if I recall the original of this long-running thread, someone wanted to use a checkbox to indicate a state of connection or something and thus the checkbox did not allow to toggle the state. I agree with early responders that in this situation, a checkbox is a wrong object to use. A graphical or textual status display should be used instead.
It is interesting that there seems to be no standard here. GUIs are weak in boolean output and even 1-of-n output.
In some domain-oriented or vertical-market GUI practice (as opposed to platform-oriented), this is addressed. In typical LabVIEW applications, the instrument panel metaphor is used and the obvious choice is a light or LED. I have seen a different practice in physical security and I have heard of another in the railroad industry.
