When a user checks an item how do I get the string of the item checked?

You can use something like this:
' Visual Basic
' Determine if there are any items checked.
If CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems.Count <> 0 Then
' If so, loop through all checked items and print results.
Dim x As Integer
Dim s As String = ""
For x = 0 To CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems.Count - 1
s = s & "Checked Item " & (x + 1).ToString & " = " &
CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(x).ToString & ControlChars.CrLf
Next x
MessageBox.Show(s)
End If
