An indeterminate state is a combination of two or more states. For example, if the user selects text in a RichEdit textbox, and some of the text is italicized, the button that represents italicized text cannot be either checked or unchecked; the text in the selection is both. To signify this indeterminate state, set the Indeterminate property to True. This dithers the image on the button to create a third state of the button's image.
