Unicode in Format Property for 'Checkbox'

Say goodbye to tiny checkboxes with no color! Hello Unicode! Instead of a checkbox control, use a Textbox to show and change a YesNo value. Use Format to specify the symbols you want. Set color and size! Works in Excel too! Use anywhere you can set a format.

If you aren't using a real checkbox, you can Lock the textbox and use the CLICK event to flip the value.

If the control is bound, you can also use Conditional Formatting.
