Re: UI design problem - exclusive checkboxes

I have a UI design problem.

I have four checkboxes, each one is one function and whenever one is
selected, the other checkboxes should be invalid (unchecked).
You may say radio boxes are the best choice, but I must allow all
checkboxes unchecked, that's to say, the user can leave all checkboxes
unchecked.

I'd consider a ComboBox for something like that. You can have an option in
the list for "None". It also gives you a little extra flexibility by letting
you have longer text strings than your ui might otherwise have room for with
checkboxes.
