REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY - replacing the standard selection column with check

Question

I am attempting to replace the standard selection column (what you press to highlight an entire line) with a column
of checkboxes using the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.  Which would mean that when you press on '(de)select all' that the
checkboxes would behave accordingly.
There is a 'box' field in the internal table and the layout is referencing it.  I have verified in debug that the
'(de)select all' functionality is updating that field in the internal table.  When I add the 'box' field to the field
catalog it will display on the screen but it does not show as ticked when '(de)select all' is pressed.  Again in debug
the itab is being updated.
I have been googling for a solution and found others with similar problems, but no useful solutions were provided.
It is not an option to go with an ALV OO solution per the environment.  Thank you in advance.

Hi Glen,
If you are checking condition like whether it is select all or deselect all you can modify the internal for that fields as below
if select all.
itab-check = 'X'.
modify itab where check = 'X' transporting check.
endif.
This will update all your itab-check coloumn with check indicator.
This may be useful for you.
Thanks,
