Custom CheckListBox Honor 2 columns

Question

I created a custom checklistbox so I could change the foreground color of certain items however when I enable the MutiColumn to true the values overlap each other rather than working in multiple columns..

public sealed class CustomCheckedListBox : CheckedListBox
{
    public CustomCheckedListBox()
    {
        DoubleBuffered = true;
    }

    protected override void OnDrawItem(DrawItemEventArgs e)
    {
        Size checkSize = CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(e.Graphics,
            System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.MixedNormal);
        int dx = (e.Bounds.Height - checkSize.Width)/2;
        e.DrawBackground();
        bool isChecked = GetItemChecked(e.Index); //For some reason e.State doesn't work so we have to do this instead.
        CheckBoxRenderer.DrawCheckBox(e.Graphics, new Point(dx, e.Bounds.Top + dx),
            isChecked
                ? System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.CheckedNormal
                : System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal);
        using (StringFormat sf = new StringFormat {LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center})
        {
            using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(isChecked ? CheckedItemColor : BackColor))
            {
                e.Graphics.DrawString(Items[e.Index].ToString(), Font, brush,
                    new Rectangle(e.Bounds.Height, e.Bounds.Top, e.Bounds.Width - e.Bounds.Height, e.Bounds.Height), sf);
            }
        }
    }

    private Color _checkedItemColor = Color.Blue;

    public Color CheckedItemColor
    {
        get { return _checkedItemColor; }
        set
        {
            _checkedItemColor = value;
            Invalidate();
        }
    }
}

Can anyone suggest any changes that need to be made in order to have this not happen?

Your rectangle coordinates are not accurate. Also, controls use the TextRenderer class to draw text:

protected override void OnDrawItem(DrawItemEventArgs e) {
  e.DrawBackground();
  bool isChecked = GetItemChecked(e.Index);
  Size checkSize = CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(e.Graphics, CheckBoxState.MixedNormal);

  CheckBoxRenderer.DrawCheckBox(e.Graphics,
    new Point(e.Bounds.Left + 2,
              e.Bounds.Top + (e.Bounds.Height / 2) - (checkSize.Height / 2)),
    isChecked ? CheckBoxState.CheckedNormal : CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal);

  TextRenderer.DrawText(e.Graphics, Items[e.Index].ToString(), Font,
    new Rectangle(e.Bounds.Left + checkSize.Width + 3, e.Bounds.Top,
                  e.Bounds.Width - (checkSize.Width + 3), e.Bounds.Height - 1),
    isChecked ? CheckedItemColor : ForeColor, Color.Empty, TextFormatFlags.VerticalCenter);
}
