Well, a checkbox can have a 'mixed state' too (with a '-' instead

I've seen that before in apps. Actually, I kind of dislike it.
Looks odd. That's just personal programming/user preference though.
There are definitely situations where mixed states are needed.
Not sure what you're trying to do here, but any post-click stuff
can be
dealt with via target/action. What do you want to do pre-click?
Some
kink of 'rollover'?
Yeah, that was the impetus for the question. The idea is that there
is a checkbox that I'd like to provide to context for. Either with
a roll-over or, as I've seen recently in other apps, a modal dialog
with the explanation. That explanation may be lengthy -- as in a
paragraph. So, I may use a modal dialog. However, the decision is
also contingent on the HIG, which I need to reread in terms of this.
Not sure what you mean by modal dialog here. Don't you mean tool
tip? If so, just use IB to specify the tooltip. Also, search the
docs for NSToolTip.
In terms of tool-tip length, I know that in Carbon, it was possible
to specify both terse and verbose content. I think holding-down
Command or option would trigger the more verbose text. I haven't
played around with Cocoa tooltips to see if this is possible.
