If you want to un-check checkbutton when you rightclick in a viewport then there's no easy way to do it as far as I know.

But while SwiftLoop mode is active, bottom status panel shows a text 'Mouse Tool'.
Algorithm is pretty simple
1. start PolyToolsPolyDraw.SwiftLoop()
2. Find a hwnd handle of UI element with title 'Mouse Tool'
3. if hwnd is found Start a timer else set checked back to false since SwiftLoop isn't active

on each timer tick
check if this UI element changed its text to something different
if text is no longer equal to 'Mouse Tool' then user rightclicked or somehow disabled SwiftLoop mode. Stop timer. Set checkbutton state to checked = false
