Can checkboxgroupinputs appear in few columns?

[Adomas Budrys]

Hi,

I have a lot of variables (~500) which list is rendered using checkboxgroupinput(), however, all of them renders in one column. Like this:

I would like to ask, if it's possible to make them appear in whole screen? I would like thee 500 elements to be separated, for example, to 5 columns, therefore each column with 100 variables. Like this: 

I am using fluidPage() and suggesting pseudocode which I am trying right now. But that gives the same ouput. I will have a plot above all check boxes.

output$tab <- renderUI({

    fluidPage(title = "Big checkbox",

      plotOutput("plot")

      fluidRow(column(12,h2("Testing"),

                      checkboxGroupInput("testing","Big table",choices=c(1:500))))

      

      )

  })

I understand that I could separate these 500 elements to few groups and then render them using fluidRow, but is there another way to do that?

Thanks in advance!

I know this post is a year old, but it wasn't answered, and now I have the same question.. does anyone know how to make columns from the checkboxGroupInput() 'choices'?

I'm aware of the 'inline' Boolean but this is not quite what I and, I think, Adomas would like (unless you solved it already, Adomas?)

Btw, the solution comes via CSS3 'column-count': http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp

And custom CSS in Shiny (I chose the method: 'add to header' of UI with 'tags') http://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/css.html

i.e.

## here's the top of your ui.R file

shinyUI(fluidPage(

 ## custom CSS for 3 column layout (used below for mechanics filter options)
  tags$head(
    tags$style(HTML("

     .multicol {

       -webkit-column-count: 3; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */

       -moz-column-count: 3; /* Firefox */

       column-count: 3;

     }

   "))

 ),

## use the css, assuming your long list of vars comes from global.R

   wellPanel(

     tags$div(class = "multicol", checkboxGroupInput("foo", choices = your_vars, label = "foo", selected = NULL))

   )

))

Also  there is  "inline" option, which can help if you have a lot of choices.
