In windows it is possible to show a grayed out JCheckbox, to show that the collection of data which it represents not all items have the same value.

Is this even possible with a JCheckBox?
How do i go about this?
(Hoping there’s a way to not override it)

Thanks

    My colleague who this question came from thought of this;

    1. Create a dummy JCheckBox which is disabled and selected. set the same size as the real one.
    2. Create an Icon which’ paint method actually paints the dummy JCheckbox.
    3. Set the original JCheckBox’ Icon to the one painting the dummy.
    4. Remove the icon as soon as the JCheckBox is clicked.

    ++ No overridden JCheckBox

    — not a real tri-state Combo

    I think he’s satisfied.
    Thanks for the help
