- Have you seen the white paper from Oracle titled:
-
- "Developing Bit-mapped Applications with SQL*Forms and SQL*Menu"
-
- This paper describes a method of simulating check boxes that can be selected
- with the mouse. I have tried it and it seems to work satisfactorily. Granted,
- the appearance is not exactly according to Mac standards, but, it does make
- for a user friendly point & click selection.
-
- The paper also discusses several other points of interest to developers that
- will be implementing on Macs or in the X windows environment.
