.. _wx.CheckListBox:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.CheckListBox**
==========================================================================================================================================

A :ref:`wx.CheckListBox`  is like a :ref:`wx.ListBox`, but allows items to be checked or unchecked.          

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

^^ 





.. _CheckListBox-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.CommandEvent` parameter.


- EVT_CHECKLISTBOX: Process a  ``wxEVT_CHECKLISTBOX``   event, when an item in the check list box is checked or unchecked.  :meth:`wx.CommandEvent.GetInt`   will contain the index of the item that was checked or unchecked. :meth:`wx.CommandEvent.IsChecked`   is not valid! Use :meth:`wx.CheckListBox.IsChecked`   instead. ^^
