Are there any good conventions for displaying a "partially selected checkbox"? I have a tree of checkboxes and I'm trying to think of the clearest way to show the user an indication that a parent checkbox is in one of the following three states:
1. All of its items (child checkboxes) are selected/checked 2. Some but not all of its items are selected ("partially selected", ie some child checkboxes are checked and some are not) 3. None of its items are selected (no child checkboxes are checked) Cases 1 and 3 are easily shown with a checkmark or lack of a checkmark, but what about case 2? What is the best way to visually indicate the partial selection to the user? Should the indication be different in a web application as opposed to a windows application?
