What are the U_hilite and uHilite custom props for? The option menu  
example sets the menuhistory and stores the menuPick parameter. For a  
checkbox you just need to use the hilite property. Untested but this  
example should work:

on FillInData pData
     set the hilite of button 1 of me to pData is true
end FillInData


on mouseUp pMouseBtnNum
     SetDataOfIndex the dgIndex of me, the dgColumn of me, the hilite  
of button 1 of me
end mouseUp
