As Mike pointed out it a CheckBox list could go on forever, so I propose a possible solution based on this fact :
Given that we have a check box with items in a TStringList wouldn't it be more practical to simply write the TStringList out to a file using a loop and printing it out using a your favourite report engine which could then make it look really good. Report Manger from source forge can read native text files and you could simply use two fields in the dataset as laid out below: IsChecked Caption 0 UnChecked Item 1 Checked Item 1 Checked Item 0 UnChecked Item 1 Checked Item Any decent reporting tool will be able to make simple work of the file and output what you need. In the report engine you could use an if statement to either display or not display a check mark. The square icon will be the default for each line.
