Private Sub ExcelAddCheckedListBox()

        Dim CheckedListBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.CheckedListBox = Me.Controls. _
            AddCheckedListBox(0, 0, 90, 66.75, _
            "CheckedListBox1")
        CheckedListBox1.Items.Add("First Item")
        CheckedListBox1.Items.Add("Second Item")
        CheckedListBox1.SetItemChecked(0, True)

    End Sub
private void ExcelAddCheckedListBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.CheckedListBox
        checkedListBox1 = this.Controls.AddCheckedListBox(
        0, 0, 90, 66.75, "checkedListBox1");
