Add checkboxes to Listbox with Powershell Windows Forms - winforms

Question

I am creating a new question based on my previous post :
Change the Color of Individual ListBox items in Powershell (Winforms)
I have got the following code working very well (thanks to Micky Balladelli) but my boss asked me to add checkboxes. How can I adapt this code to add some checkboxes?
I searched on MSDN in the ListBox Properties and I didn't saw any properties to add checkboxes.
Maybe it would be better to use the CheckedListBox class but in that case it looks complicated to display my colours.
I tried with Listview class but it's not what I am expecting for.
Any help would be appreciated!
function add {
$status='logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','locked2','logged3','disconnected3','locked3'
foreach ($s in $status)
{
$listbox.Items.Add($s)
}
}
$listBox_DrawItem={
param(
[System.Object] $sender,
[System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs] $e
)
#Suppose Sender de type Listbox
if ($Sender.Items.Count -eq 0) {return}
#Suppose item de type String
$lbItem=$Sender.Items[$e.Index]
if ( $lbItem.contains('locked'))
{
$Color=[System.Drawing.Color]::yellowgreen
try
{
$brush = new-object System.Drawing.SolidBrush($Color)
$e.Graphics.FillRectangle($brush, $e.Bounds)
}
finally
{
$brush.Dispose()
}
}
$e.Graphics.DrawString($lbItem, $e.Font, [System.Drawing.SystemBrushes]::ControlText, (new-object System.Drawing.PointF($e.Bounds.X, $e.Bounds.Y)))
}

The trick is to use ListView instead of CheckedListBox.
The following contains the full code with quite a bit of changes.
function add {
$status='logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','logged1','disconnected1','locked1','logged2','disconnected2','locked2','logged3','disconnected3','locked3'
