Changing color of "check" in wxCheckBox

wxPython Users

I would like to change to color of the "check" in the wxCheckBox.
Specifically, I would like to change the color of the "undetermined" state
(I am running on XP and XP Tablet, FWIW) from the standard green filled in
rectangle to a red filled in rectangle.

This is a bit off the beaten path, and not a necessity for my app -- but
it would be nice if something like this could be accomplished from
wxPython. I have tried the standard SetForegoundColour and
SetBackgroundColor, but they do not seem to apply to the checkbox itself
-- only the label of the button.

Thanks!

The checkbox itself is part of the standard tools provided by the windowing system. If you want something different you'll need to re-implement it.

There isn't a way to do that, other than implementing your own custom checkbox control.
