wxPython: combining wxListCtrl and wxCheckBox

[Mark Carter]

I would like a wxListCtrl with 3 columns in it. The number of rows in
it will vary during run-time. In the first column of each row should
be a wxCheckBox, which the user can check or uncheck.

Is such an arrangement possible?
Any example source code?

wxCheckListBox comes close - but not close enough. Unfortunately, it
does not derive from wxListCtrl, which contains the function
InsertColumn() needed for multiple columns

One way to do this is to use the capability of the ListCtrl to display
images in the first position in the row. You can create checked and
unchecked images and then insert whichever image is appropriate for a
given row in the List.

When the row is created,
LCtrl.InsertImageStringItem(...) can insert the appropriate image and
you can then add as many additional columns as you need with
LCtrl.SetStringItem(row, column, string)

If some event changes the checkbox status of a row:

LC_Item = LCtrl.GetItem(row)

if __some condition__:
LC_Item.SetImage(index_unchecked)
else:
LC_Item.SetImage(index_checked)

LCtrl.SetItem(LC_Item)
