How can I setup TListView with CheckBoxes in only certain columns?

Question

I'm using Delphi 2010, and I am trying to allow the user to select between 2 options per row in a TListView. With TListView, I can set the style to vsReport and enable Checkboxes, but that only gets me 1 checkbox per row. What I need is 2 checkboxes per row...specifically 1 for the 1st column and 1 for the 2nd column.

What I am trying to accomplish is very similar to the standard Windows file security dialog: enter image description here

Does anyone have any suggestions for implementing something like this using TListView or even MustangPeak's TEasyListView?

Take a look at this Put a TCheckBox inside a TStringGrid in Delphi

update The link shows how to draw checkboxes. You can do the same using TListView.OnCustomDrawItem and/or OnCustomDrawSubItem events

@deamon_x: I fail to understand how it is an "absolutely different" thing. – Andreas Rejbrand Mar 29 '11 at 21:49
the windows security settings dialog uses a custom window class and the theme api much in the same way as the linked answer – David Heffernan Mar 29 '11 at 22:51

@daemon_x: Nope. The difference between a string grid and the "listbox" above, is only the grid lines. Turn them off. – Warren P Mar 29 '11 at 23:39

I use my own modified version of ExGridView by Roman Mochalov, and full sources for my modified version, plus a demo here (open the Demo in the Demo2 folder) showing checkboxes.
