@stevecor With your recent PR #26516 it seems the wxCheckBox isn't quite functioning right with respect to appearance.

If you start the widgets sample (Adding MSWEnableDarkMode() to OnInit()) with Windows in dark mode, you can see the checkbox text has a dark/black text color.

If you toggle to light mode, then toggle back, the appearance is correct:

If you click "Reset" to rebuild the control, it goes back to having the dark text color.

I'm not familiar with the details of your PR, but I guess something isn't being considered on initial creation here. Hopefully it's trivial.

Looks like this is an issue for RadioBox too
