Form controls are on the Draw page of the document, and they are
provided by the com.sun.star.drawing.ControlShape service.

If you search for XControlShape, you can see that it's implemented in
svx:

http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?q=com%3A%3Asun%3A%3Astar%3A%3Adrawing%3A%3AXControlShape&project=core&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=

Each control has a separate model, which is again an UNO object. In case
of checkbox, that's com.sun.star.comp.forms.OCheckBoxModel, the
implementation is probably under forms/source/component/CheckBox.*

I would suggest just adding a new optional "Size" property to
com/sun/star/awt/UnoControlCheckBoxModel.idl; the real work is of course
letting the code actually take care of that property when painting. :-)

Hope this helps,

Miklos
