    @class wxCheckListBox
    @wxheader{checklst.h}

    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.

    Only the new functions for this class are documented; see also wxListBox.

    Please note that wxCheckListBox uses client data in its implementation,
    and therefore this is not available to the application.

    @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_CHECKLISTBOX(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_CHECKLISTBOX_TOGGLED event, when an item in
           the check list box is checked or unchecked.
