How would you display a list box having a check box in front of each item?


We come across a list box having check boxes many times while installing softwares like Microsoft Visual C++, MS-office etc. We can also implement such a list box and give a professional look to our application. This is how it can be done...

Derive a class, say, mycheckbox from CCheckListBox class.

Create an object of mycheckbox and call Create( ) function.

Add strings using CCheckListBox::AddString( ) function.

Run the application and you will see the list control with check boxes. You can interact with the control using member functions of CCheckListBox.
