Hi,
In[1]:= list = CharacterRange["A", "F"]
Out[1]= {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"}
In[2]:= selected = {a, b, c, d, e, f};
In[3]:= checks = Map[Composition[Checkbox, Dynamic], selected]
Out[3]:= (*Checkboxes appear here*)
In[4]:= culledlist = Dynamic@Pick[list, selected]
Out[4]= (*Dynamic list of selected items appears here*)
(*The list in the format you described*)
In[5]:= Partition[Riffle[list, selected], 2]
Out[5]= {{"A", True}, {"B", True}, {"C", True}, {"D", False}, {"E",
True}, {"F", False}}
Cheers,
Zach
