I think a right-aligned version of the TCheckBox, perhaps
TRightCheckBox, would be a good addition. Display would be like:

Enable action: [x]

This is particularly good for display of info - my current case I have
text items like:

Last data: Today, 3pm

and I want the visual check, but it looks wrong on the left for this
purpose.

Just a thought.

Good idea. Or it could be like in Delphi: New property Alignment:TLeftRight for the regular
checkbox. I think this could be done quite easy by changing the Layout for the Icon element.

As far as I understand interfaces I would try like this:

 TMyCheckBox = class(TStateButtonControl)
 protected
   function CreateInterfaceElements; override;  
 end;


The only thing I don't see without testing is how to access the FIconElement and the
FCaptionElement in order to change their Layout properties.

No, don't use that method.  I'll try to work up an example of how to do this, which means that I'll probably just modify the existing check box control.

That's where things get a little difficult, because they aren't exposed anywhere.
