How to Draw Checkbox in ListView OwnerDraw

I'm using OwnerDraw for some customization in my ListView - adding
color to item backgrounds. I'm using the ListView specifically for
it's OwnerDraw capability. I originally was using the CheckedListBox
control but it has no OwnerDraw. I have not found a way to draw the
checkboxes while using OwnerDraw (the checkboxes appear correctly when
not using OwnerDraw). How can this be done? It would be nice if there
were something similar to e.DrawText()... . like e.DrawCheckbox( ). Oh,
and I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (Framework 2.0), which has an
OwnerDraw for ListView (older versions do not).

Thanks!

Hi, In a listview with the View set to "Details" and CheckBox = True, is it possible to get the CheckBox to be centered vertically? The font size in my listview is 14, which increases the size of each row in the listview, but the checkbox remains in the upper-middle. Thanks, Nathan

I noticed on the 2.0 version of the lsitview class that there is a new OwnerDraw property that allows you to take over for the rendering of the listview.
