[AccessD] Control within a Control

A combo box is so-called because it is a combination of a textbox and a
list. It is designed to accept textual input and nothing else. 

It might be possible to *display* a checkbox value by converting the
true/false values to particular characters. For instance the Unicode Arial
font has a square root symbol that could be used as a checkmark, and the
same font has a 'white square' character that could represent an unchecked
checkbox.

Subject: [AccessD] Control within a Control


A coworker has just presented a conundrum of sorts.  He has been 
tasked to display data from a table within a combobox, no prob with 
that except some are checkboxes.  User wants checkboxes displayed 
within the combobox and not Yes/No, True/False, or -1/0.

How can a checkbox be displayed within a combobox?
