I want to add a text box at the top of the form so that the user can search for any check box caption which contains the entered text. For example, when a user enters "fox", a method of the form will scan all check boxes and check if the caption has the word "fox." So far, it is all fairly easy to do.

Create a bmp graphic and display that.
If you need to change it, re-create the bmp.
You could display it however you want.

Rick Strahl has some code for generating a bmp:
(He used it to make a captcha, but you have all the basics you need to create a bmp from text)
