Event triggered by ANY checkbox click - vba

Question

I'm going crazy trying to find a way for code to run when I click on ANY of the checkboxes on my sheet. I've seen multiple articles talking about making a class module, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have code that will populate column B to match column C. Whatever I manually type into C10 will populate into B10, even if C10 is a formula: =D9. So, I can type TRUE into D10 and the formula in C10 will result in: TRUE and then the code populates B10 to say: TRUE. Awesome... the trick is to have a checkbox linked to D10. When I click the checkbox, D10 says TRUE and the formula in C10 says TRUE, but that is as far as it goes. The VBA code does not recognize the checkbox click. If I then click on the sheet (selection change), then the code will run, so I know I need a different event.
It is easy enough to change the event to "Checkbox1_Click()", but I want it to work for ANY checkbox I click. I'm not having ANY luck after days of searching and trying different things.
here is the code I'm running so far
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Long
For i = 3 To 11
Range("B" & i).Value = Range("c" & i)
Next i
End Sub
Any help would be appreciated.

this works
' this goes into sheet code
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
activateCheckBoxes
End Sub
.
' put all this code in class a module and name the class module "ChkClass"
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents ChkBoxGroup As MSForms.CheckBox
Private Sub ChkBoxGroup_Change()
Debug.Print "ChkBoxGroup_Change"
End Sub
Private Sub ChkBoxGroup_Click()
Debug.Print "ChkBoxGroup_Click"; vbTab;
Debug.Print ChkBoxGroup.Caption; vbTab; ChkBoxGroup.Value
ChkBoxGroup.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 2) = ChkBoxGroup.Value
End Sub
.
' this code goes into a module
Option Explicit
Dim CheckBoxes() As New ChkClass
Const numChkBoxes = 20
'
Sub doCheckBoxes()
makeCheckBoxes
activateCheckBoxes
End Sub
Sub makeCheckBoxes() ' creates a column of checkBoxes
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = ActiveSheet
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To sht.Shapes.Count
' Debug.Print sht.Shapes(1).Properties
sht.Shapes(1).Delete
DoEvents
Next i
Dim xSize As Integer: xSize = 2 ' horizontal size (number of cells)
Dim ySize As Integer: ySize = 1 ' vertical size
Dim t As Range
Set t = sht.Range("b2").Resize(ySize, xSize)
For i = 1 To numChkBoxes
sht.Shapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", Left:=t.Left, Top:=t.Top, Width:=t.Width - 2, Height:=t.Height
DoEvents
Set t = t.Offset(ySize)
Next i
End Sub
Sub activateCheckBoxes() ' assigns all checkBoxes on worksheet to ChkClass.ChkBoxGroup
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = ActiveSheet
ReDim CheckBoxes(1 To 1)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To sht.Shapes.Count
ReDim Preserve CheckBoxes(1 To i)
Set CheckBoxes(i).ChkBoxGroup = sht.Shapes(i).OLEFormat.Object.Object
Next i
End Sub

All you need is to let EVERY checkbox's _Click() event know that you want to run the Worksheet_SelectionChange event. To do so you need to add the following line into every _Click() sub:
Call Worksheet_SelectionChange(Range("a1"))
Please note that it is irrelevant what range is passed to the SelectionChange sub since you do not use the Target in your code.
