set foreground color of checkbox [message #453153]

I am trying to change the foreground color of a checkbox button(I am
trying to change the color of the "check" inside the checkbox).

Button checkbox = new Button(shell, SWT.CHECK);
checkbox.setForeground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED) );

It does not seem to have the desired effect of displaying the "check" in
red color. It always uses the default system color(black in my case).
Does anyone know how to set the checkbox foreground color?. I dont seem to
have a problem with other controls like Text or Labels.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Sunil

The theme manager draws the check and you can't change it. Sorry.
