You can customize the checkbox. Set its properties this way:

  • Style : 1 - Graphical
  • Picture : a picture file representing "X"
  • DownPicture : a picture file representing "✓"

Pictures can be icons (*.ico), cursors (*.cur), bitmaps (*.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg, etc.).

Note that since it uses bitmap type images and not vector ones, you'll deal with pixel sizes to design your UI.

You might be able to mimic the desired behavior/optics with the CommandButton control, where you set its Style property to 2, set its Picture property to a matching image and swap that image if necessary:

Dim pic As StdPicture
Set pic = LoadPicture("C:\YourCheckmarkOrXImageFileHere.ico") Set
Command1.Picture = pic
