Jan, I've recently done just what you arf asking about. I'm sorry I can't mail you my code, but I can tell you how I did it. Create a class derived from CListBox. When the listbox is created (either dynamically or in AppStudio) give it the styles LBS_OWNERDRAWNFIXED and LBS_HASSTRINGS. In the derived class, override MeasureItem and DrawItem. In DrawItem, you draw a checkbox and the string to the right of it. The way I determine if an item is checked is by using SetItemData and GetItemData. I overrode OnLButtonDown to do some hit-testing, toggled the value set with SetItemData, sent a custom notification message indicating that an item had been checked or unchecked, then did the default processing. That's about it! I had to handle a few other issues, since my Item Height was based on the font. Hope this gets you started. Mark
