How to make an Unclickable Check Box

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

I am using a check box button to indicate to the user that he is or is  
not connected to the internet. on openCard, the script pings for a file  
on  a particular server... if it is downloaded and is not a 404, then  
the check box hilite is set to true. Problem is, I don't want the user  
to be able to click the button (thereby incorrectly toggling the check  
mark) Of course, one can do this:

on mouseup
   set the hilite of me to not the hilite of me
end mouseup

to preserve the button state an a click attempt... but, is there no  
property that can be set that would simply not let the user click the  
button (other than disabled, which dims the button.) ??

Or perhaps there is a preferred strategy to accomplish this goal other  
than use of a check button...


btw, since there are a lot of new Rev users here... you may enjoy

run this in your msg box:

go stack url  
"http://www.himalayanacademy.com/studyhall/yamas_niyamas/ 
Yamas_and_Niyamas.rev"

It demonstrates a lot of relatively simple stuff.
