Solution 2

Because it's WPF, you can put anything you want, anywhere. Just add checkboxes to the template for the contents of your combo box.

You didn't look[^] very hard

Agree. Probably my idea about it was a bit overcomplicated... :-)

There is no such control for WPF in .NET FCL. You will have to create your own custom control to implement such features.

Derive it from the base class System.Windows.Controls.Control:

Another idea: derive it from System.Windows.Controls.Panel, make existing check box control instances its Children and custom rendering to add text and the rest:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.panel.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.panel.children.aspx[^].

Probably, some other options are possible. [EDIT] Speaking of which: probably the answer by Christian Grauss is a better way to go [END EDIT]

It would not be extremely hard to develop, I would say, but will take close attention and patience.
