Owner-drawing the checkbox would probably be the way to go. There are plenty of articles on codeproject to guide you in owner-drawing controls. I never thought of the fact that the focus indication is missing when omitting the label. Interesting.

I just have a dreadful feeling that your UI is going to suck. Can you suggest a list control with the checkbox style, so all your items will fit on the window AND they can have labels?
Any sufficiently gross incompetence is nearly indistinguishable from malice.

First I have a suggestion if you dont have caption on checkboxs use of tooltip for them.For color my naswer is OwnerDraw I think you can find an example on codeproject for ownerdraw its three led (checkboxs).
