## Detailed Description

A wxCheckListBox is like a wxListBox, but allows items to be checked or unchecked.

When using this class under Windows wxWidgets must be compiled with wxUSE_OWNER_DRAWN set to 1.

## Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxCommandEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

- EVT_CHECKLISTBOX(id, func):
  Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_CHECKLISTBOX_TOGGLED` event, when an item in the check list box is checked or unchecked. wxCommandEvent::GetInt() will contain the index of the item that was checked or unchecked. wxCommandEvent::IsChecked() is not valid! Use wxCheckListBox::IsChecked() instead.
