I answered a similar question about listbox control and I assume that checked listbox behaves in the same way.

Setting MultiColumn property doesn't actually provide you a control with desired number of columns. It still has a single list of items and while you add more items, it 'wraps' them to next column instead of showing vertical scrollbar.

If you want a two column control, use either some grid control or listview control. By setting listview control's View property to View.Details, you can use listview as a multicolumn 'grid'.
