Thank you, this is much closer to where I need to be...

The issue is (and this is the part that you don't know, because I
didn't tell you!) is that I later need to call methods on
"self.checkbox1", for instance:

self.checkbox1.GetValue()

to determine if the box is checked or not.

I should have included that piece in the initial problem description;
my apologies.
