GetThemeCheckBoxStyle

Obtains the system preference for the type of mark to use in a checkbox.

pascal OSStatus GetThemeCheckBoxStyle (
                     ThemeCheckBoxStyle *outStyle);
outStyle
A pointer to a value of type ThemeCheckBoxStyle. On return, the value specifies the type of mark being used. See Theme Checkbox Style Constants for descriptions of possible values.
function result
A result code; see Result Codes .
DISCUSSION

Because international systems may specify the use of one type of mark to use in checkboxes over another, your application should call GetThemeCheckBoxStyle to obtain the correct type of mark to use on the current system.
