Hi,
I want to create a method that takes in the type of a Enumeration,
passes in the Enumeration as an object, and then outputs the values
with checkboxes, and pre-checks the checkbox if that value is set in a
mask.

This is what I have so far that outputs the values as a checkbox, but
I need to pass in *any* mask so it can check if that value is set in
the mask, if yes, check the checkbox.

What I would do is enumerate the Enum.GetValues() array instead of the GetNames() array. Cast your mask and current value to int, and set the checkbox based on that result.

You could of course parse the enumeration value name, going the other direction. But I think it reads better starting with the value, and I think that converting the value to a string (for use as the "name") is slightly easier than converting the string to a value (though neither is really that hard).
