Assuming you are using .NET C# winforms…

You can inherit this control, and override the property .ItemHeight as follows:

private class OverriddenCheckedListBox : CheckedListBox
{
    public override int ItemHeight { get; set; }
}

Place one of these controls on your form, and set the property to a height that suits the amount of space you desire. (If you want it to show up in the toolbox you’ll need to create it as a user control.) Here is an example:

OverriddenCheckedListBox ochkListBox = new OverriddenCheckedListBox();
ochkListBox.Location = new Point(0, 0);
ochkListBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
ochkListBox.Items.Add("Alpha");
ochkListBox.Items.Add("Beta");
ochkListBox.Items.Add("Charlie");
ochkListBox.Items.Add("Delta");
ochkListBox.Items.Add("Epsilon");
ochkListBox.ItemHeight = 30; // This is your row height
this.Controls.Add(ochkListBox);
