 `CCheckListBox` is only for owner-drawn controls because the list contains more than text strings. At its simplest, a checklist box contains text strings and check boxes, but you don't need to have text at all. For example, you could have a list of small bitmaps with a check box next to each item.
 
-To create your own checklist box, you must derive your own class from `CCheckListBox`. To derive your own class, write a constructor for the derived class, then call `Create`.
+The basic steps to create your own checklist box are as follows:
+
+First design an ordinary listbox control using the resource editor (because that's what the checklist box is based upon).
+The listbox must have 'Owner Draw' set to `Fixed` and `Has Strings` to `True`.
+That's because the checklist box needs to draw the checkboxes.
+
+Next, instantiate `CCheckListBox` in your code, call `Create`.
+Alternatively and in case you are using DDX then `DDX_Control` will do this for you.
+Call `SetCheckStyle` to choose one of the checkbox modes.
+
+At this point you should have checkboxes show up next to your listbox strings, but unless you are using DDX you'll find the checkboxes don't respond to mouse clicks.
+To get it fully working without DDX you'll need to subclass the checklist box.
+
+Some versions of the control show artifacts when the control is initially showing.
+One workaround is to call `SetFont(GetFont())` on the checklist box instance after initially having added your data.
 
 If you want to handle Windows notification messages sent by a list box to its parent (usually a class derived from [`CDialog`](../../mfc/reference/cdialog-class.md)), add a message-map entry and message-handler member function to the parent class for each message.

 When `Create` executes, Windows sends the [`WM_NCCREATE`](../../mfc/reference/cwnd-class.md#onnccreate), [`WM_CREATE`](../../mfc/reference/cwnd-class.md#oncreate), [`WM_NCCALCSIZE`](../../mfc/reference/cwnd-class.md#onnccalcsize), and [`WM_GETMINMAXINFO`](../../mfc/reference/cwnd-class.md#ongetminmaxinfo) messages to the checklist-box control.
