In Flutter, a checkbox can be applied to a dropdown menu item by creating a custom dropdown menu item widget that includes a checkbox. Here's an example:

class CheckboxDropdownMenuItem<T> extends DropdownMenuItem<T> {
  final bool checked;
  final ValueChanged<bool> onChanged;

  CheckboxDropdownMenuItem({
    Key key,
    @required T value,
    @required Widget child,
    this.checked = false,
    this.onChanged,
  }) : super(key: key, value: value, child: child);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        Checkbox(
          value: checked,
          onChanged: onChanged,
        ),
        Expanded(
          child: child,
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

Then, you can use this custom dropdown menu item widget wherever you would use a regular dropdown menu item, like this:

DropdownButton(
  value: selectedValue,
  items: [
    CheckboxDropdownMenuItem(
      value: 'option1',
      child: Text('Option 1'),
      checked: selectedValues.contains('option1'),
      onChanged: (value) {
        if (value) {
          setState(() {
            selectedValues.add('option1');
          });
        } else {
          setState(() {
            selectedValues.remove('option1');
          });
        }
      },
    ),
    // more items here
  ],
  onChanged: (value) {
    setState(() {
      selectedValue = value;
    });
  },
)

In this example, we're using a list of selected values to keep track of which options have been checked. When the checkbox changes, we update this list and re-render the dropdown menu item.
