Binding the list to the code-created checkboxes... that's brilliant!

Thanks a lot meykih, this is exactly what I was looking for. It is also much better than before, because instead of calling VisualTreeHelper to access the CheckBoxes, we can now get to them fast and easy.

I only had to make one change though: with the binding you had, I couldn't find a way to access the actual databound object. The "content" property of the checkbox would just be set to the string representation of the field.

	Binding binding = new Binding(control.CheckBoxContentProperty);
	binding.Source = item;
	binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;
	checkbox.SetBinding(CheckBox.ContentProperty, binding);

Did I miss something? Instead I now use the following:

 
	checkbox.DataContext = item;
	Binding binding = new Binding(control.CheckBoxContentProperty);
	binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;
	checkbox.SetBinding(CheckBox.ContentProperty, binding);
 

This way I can iterate over the checkboxes and get the object they are bound to.
I use it in the GetCheckedItems() method:

 
	foreach (CheckBox checkbox in this.Items)
	{
		if (checkbox.IsChecked.Value)
		{
			// here the databound object is checkbox.DataContext
		}
	}
 

What do you think of the change?
Thanks again for your help, I guess we finally have a generic CheckBoxList control!
