XAML Part :

   <ScrollViewer>
        <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding .}">
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <CheckBox Content="{Binding Path=.}" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        </ListBox>
    </ScrollViewer>

Code-behind part :

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DataContext = new string[] {"course1", "course2"};
    }
}

Would a listbox control with Checkbox as its items work for you?

This is part of a WPF Xaml code that I wrote for a checkbox list:

        <ListBox Name="CheckBoxDataListBox">
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid Width="Auto" Height="20" Margin="0">
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="30"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <Grid Grid.Column="0">
                            <CheckBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" Padding="0" DataContext="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Center" IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}"></CheckBox>
                        </Grid>
                        <Label Name="SelectLabel" Grid.Column="1"  Padding="0" DataContext="{Binding}" Content="{Binding Value}"></Label>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        </ListBox>

when I add items in it it just add labels not checkbox can you text it again or discuss how it work ?

Viv Over a year ago

Did you make sure you got the grid columns correct? the Label may have been placed over the checkbox control? Make sure their is enough column width. Comment out the label and see if the checkbox is displayed.

I copied the code from my project where the text needs to be displayed on the other side of the checkbox. I couldn't do it with the checkbox available (or couldn't find out how).

@Vivek - in that case you just need to set FlowDirection="RightToLeft"

You need to bind the collection of strings as the ItemsSource of a ListBox and set ListBox.ItemTemplate to a DataTemplate that includes a checkbox.

For example, see WPF ListBoxItem selection problem.
