Description Eugene Ostroukhov CLA 2004-04-24 03:38:47 EDT
When one element in the editor is selected, checkbox in the view shows if the 
condition is true.
If several elements are selected checkbox is checked if the condition is true 
for each element, unchecked if it is false for each element. Otherway it is 
checked and grayed but not disabled - so the user can toggle the action.

To be clear, the request is that a Button created with style SWT.CHECK should 
be able to display a gray state in its checkbox, right?

api request, SN to consider.  Do the platforms support this?

Yes - exactly. At least for the Windows platform. I guess, other platforms 
might have other meaning to express the "undetermined" state for the checkbox.

This is a low priority.  The widget doesn't appear often in most UI's and the 
other platforms don't all have the concept.
