Looking for an event that fires only when user checks a CheckBox

System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox has two different events that the programmer can handle:

Is there something similar for System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox?

Clarification: I'm looking for an event to handle that won't be fired when I programmatically set the checkbox by calling a statement like CheckBox.Checked = true.

As Control.focused is true only when the user has clicked on the control with the mouse, you can use the following code to respond only when the user checks the checkbox

private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(checkBox1.Focused)
    {
        //do ur stuff here
    }
}

Just handle the Click event. Any time a checkbox is clicked, it will be toggled.

    private void checkBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (((CheckBox)sender).Checked)
        {
            // do stuff
        }
    }
