[RWP] toggling the checked state of fields in dialog boxes

Yes, it's a bit of a pain that pressing enter pops you out of the dialog 
when you're not finished, but I tried to get something else to work, in 
NVDA, without success.
Shift+spacebar  didn't work here; but it's is a nifty one for very 
reliably selecting a single item on a track without ever selecting the 
wrong item or both items, though, something I was looking for.
Once, I thought ctrl+spacebar worked to place a checkmark; without 
leaving the track properties dialog, but I couldn't get that to work a 
second time.
