tedd, this sounds like you're trying to save window space by putting a
series of check boxes into a tighter place...

aas others have pointed out, your demand is very anti-HIG... but this
doesn't solve your problem if it is space induced...

here's a suggestion: a button, for example 'set params' next to the button
is a field titled 'current params'. When the user clicks on the button they
get a small dialog window with the check boxes. When they close this, you
grab the items that thet selected, pass them thru a table to get strings,
and put the strings, comma-separated into the 'current params' field.

This is probably not the answer to your question... but it may help get you
closer to the track.

All the best
