not an event, we're referring to patching the system API. it's easier and
less scary than it sounds. basically you write a function that takes the
same parameter list as the system API "CtlDrawControl". then use
SysSetTrapAddress to point that system trap to your new function. your new
function must call the old function for anything it doesn't handle. your
function only needs to handle drawing the checkbox controls, and in fact you
could even call the system version and then just draw a circle over the
square that the system draws.
but you'd probably be happy with square checkboxes -- it sounds like your
biggest complaint was the pushbuttons that have nothing but text, and draw
as inverted when they're selected.
