Re: Aria button mixed

You are confusing a button and a checkbox.
A checkbox can have 3 states (tri-state checkbox) e.g. if you have one
checkbox to check or uncheck a group of other checkboxes.
See this APG example
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/checkbox/checkbox-2/checkbox-2.html
You can check or uncheck all the checkboxes at once with the condament
mastercheckbox.
If you check or uncheck one of the individual checkboxes, the master
checkbox changes to "mixed".
