Is there any way of programatically designating a checkbox control as being
read-only? There are certain instances in my application in which I'd like
to disable checkboxes from having their values modified by the user. I could
just set the enabled property to false, but I'm not especially fond of the
appearance of greyed-out controls

Can't you create a new class which inherit from CheckBox, and override
the accessors of the CheckState property, so that the user can't change it ?

Set the control's 'AutoCheck' property to 'False'.
