Warren:

Thanks for the code. I was able to do what you suggested and it works.
However, the real question I'm asking is: "How do you know if the checkbox
is inactive?" In other words, where do you get the value for
"theCheckboxIsGray"?

I was thinking (dangerous for me) that each object must have a structure
wherein things like "active" are kept. If so, then I could check the status
of the object when determining what to do with the cursor.
