Windows 7.1 SP1 - Listbox Check Redraw Problem

• Some installations of Windows 7.1 SP1.
• No other Windows release is affected.

• Resolved - custom checkbox solution released v1.0.96.

• On some installations of Windows v7.1 SP1 (minimum installation requirements for PergamonMU) a bug has been recorded across all software utilising the Xojo Development environment, and by a range of manufacturers. This bug results in the checkbox component of list boxes not redrawing with the correct true / false / indeterminate setting.
  
  While a visual problem only, it does result in users not knowing what the current settings of a value is and therefore inadvertently saving incorrect values.
  
  In some functional areas, this results in the software being effectively unusable due to consequence.

• As Windows 7.1 SP1 is the minimum specification for Xojo software running on Windows and is also no longer supported by Microsoft, a 3rd party solution is unlikely.
  
  Esferico are currently developing a custom solution with our own checkbox images, not relying on the built-in controls within Windows.
  
  
• UPDATE 2017-09-01 - Custom solution introduced with release v1.0.96.
