My google skills fail me. Anyone heard of a control like that for WPF. I am trying to make it look like this (winforms screenshot).

You can do this yourself by setting the DataTemplate of the combo box. This article shows you how - for a listbox, but the principle is the same.

Another article here is perhaps a better fit for what you are trying to do, simple set the first column of the item template to be a checkbox and bind it to a bool on your business object.

<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}"
                       Width="20" />
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding DayOfWeek}"
                       Width="100" />
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
