You can make a checkbox in WoW via the following commands:
myCheckButton = CreateFrame("CheckButton", "myCheckButton_GlobalName", parentFrame, "ChatConfigCheckButtonTemplate");

This is where you locate the checkbox relative to its parent frame. Coordinates are (0,0) is the top-left corner of the parent, so a negative y-coordinate means down and positive x-coord means right.
myCheckButton:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 200, -65);
