You can't. You have to build your own combobox for that.

What would a checkbox in a combobox be used for anyway?

Use WPF

<ComboBox>
<CheckBox>
Hello
</CheckBox>
</ComboBox>

I think the OP wants a ComboBox with the same functionality as CheckedListBox,
but as you say there is no such thing as a CheckedComboBox. In fact, I don't
believe I've ever seen a ComboBox used in that way. It wouldn't make much
sense, would it?

Good luck with your project,

You have to use OwnerDraw and paint the checkboxes yourself as well as handle code for checking the box when a user selects the item.

The principle is the same as this article, but the drawing will be different. You have to draw the checkboxes, either manually or as an image.

Wouldn't a button opening a properties window be better?
