How to get checkedlistbox to display horizontal

Does anyone know how to get the checkedlistbox to display items
horizontally on a windows form?

It seems that it only displays its check box items vertically (up and
down), which is not what I want.

I want to be able to use the CheckedListBox to display the days of the
week going across (horizontally) a windows form.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that CheckedListBox doesn't support that.

If you're mainly looking for the UI affect, you could have a FlowLayoutPanel
and add a series of CheckBox's to it; one for each day of the week. It takes
away the nicety of the CheckedListBox but it should have the UI you're looking
for.

Set the control's 'MultiColumn' property to 'True' and adjust the height of
the control to show only a single item in vertical direction.

That did the trick, thank you very much. I knew it had to be something
simple like that.
