Checkboxes are back in town! 8/2022

Sometime around CS6, I believe checkboxes were broken in Illustrator's ScriptUI ListBox controls and we had to start working around with this using images for list-items, or unicode symbols an prepending to text.

Now with the latest update, in addition to making all buttons have a non-rounded border (I JUST got used to the rounded border on all buttons, why ?), it looks like the checkboxes are back in ListBoxes!

They really work.

This is good news for me right now because I do have a list box as it happens, which needs both a checkbox and an image. Now I will be able to forget about all the checkbox work-arounds and simply use the control as normal.

      @Silly-V 

      Thank you for an update.. 🙂

      Ditto!, I also don't like square buttond. I think we are used to it because default buttons in application is rounded not square. 

      Best regards

        Native Dialogs like Recolor, Layer Options, File Info, etc still have Rounded Buttons, but in the Properties Panel, buttons seem Squarish? They are slightly rounded. New ScriptUI buttons on the other hand have such sharp corners it hurts to look at.

         

        ESTK still renders rounded rectangle Buttons as usual

          Thanks for the heads-up, @Silly-V. I'm very curious as to what's going on. Did Adobe update to new version of ScriptUI libraries, or fix some bugs? I'm surprised if it were either of those options.

          P.S. The square buttons gave me a big shock.

            I've got like 1% hopeful there would be something new so I had to check the scripting dictionaries. Not surprisingly, there are no scriptUI, javascript or illustrator scripting changes...just happy accidents, and sad accidents.
