Adding a checkbox to a form report

Question

Hi there,
I've built a multi-item form in APEX 3.1.2, based on the following query:
SELECT id,
       ticker,
       deal_date,
       deal_type,
       no_shares,
       price_per_share,
       commision,
       stamp_duty,
       DECODE( trade_group_id, NULL, 'N', 'Y' ) AS group_ind,
       trade_group_id
  FROM trades
WHERE ticker = 'FXPO'
ORDER BY trade_group_id,
          ticker,
          deal_date.
Unfortunately, I'm not hosting an image online and can't seem to figure out how to attach one to this post, so I can't show you a picture.
I'd like to replace the GROUP_IND value with a Checkbox in the Form Report. However, when I go to Report Attributes>Column Attributes for the GROUP_IND column, I cannot choose a Checkbox to represent that editable column in the report form. In the Tabular form Section>Display As dropdown list, a Checkbox is not given as an option. The closest thing I can find is Select List (static LOV).
Is there any way I can include a Checkbox where I want it to be? If I can, is there any way to ensure the associated report row is highlighted after the Checkbox has been ticked?
Cheers.
James
