Check box "box" alignment

[Worst, Debbie]

I know I've read somewhere in this group that in the paragraph properties for the checkbox object you can change where the "checkbox" actually resides, left, center, right but I can't find anything.  Anyone remember?

I think you are referring to the position property in the layout palette of the field?

Hi

I think the attached screenshot might help you in Check box Alignment.

Those properties change the caption but not the "checkbox".  I thought there was a way to change the "checkbox" alignment.

On your earlier question, set up a boolean variable and set it to false.  Then either add code to each checkbox for the Change event to set the boolean to "true" and check the boolean on the Submit Buttin Click event.  

A better way would be to make the submit button disabled and only enable it when one of the check boxes is checked.   Best practice here would be to provide clear instructions to the end user as it may confuse them.

Optionally, you could simply iterate through each checkbox on the form and seek true values but my gut instinct is that would be more resource intensive.

Look at the photo again.  At the top right you can see the alignment is for the caption.  You can click the arrow to change it to the control or for both.  You obviously want the control.

 

Just my $.02.

[Worst, Debbie]

The ability to switch from the caption to the value is "grayed" out with a checkbox.  A dropdown box or textfield have that option, but not the checkbox.

I think I know what you're after, you want to do something like "hang" the checkbox at the top of a few lines of text in the caption? It floats in the centre by default.

You have to muck around in the XML source but it's pretty easy - and once it's done save the checkbox in your object library.

So, select your checkbox and click on the XML Source tab. You'll be placed in the XML source at the first line of your field definition. A few lines down, just after the </ui> tag you should see <para vAlign="middle"/> - you want the first instance of para, the second instance in inside the <caption> tag and only affects the caption.

Now you can edit that line to make your checkbox do what you want. In the example below I've bolded the line and set the checkbox to float top and center. One note - setting vAlign="top" will cause the vAlign setting (and the entire <para> tag) to vanish when you go back into the XML source unless you've also set the horizontal to something. So if all you do is a vAlign="top", if you go back in to edit it again the entire <para> tag will be gone, you can add it back in again if you need or drag a new button off the object palette.

In the example below, after exiting the XML source and going back in all you'd see is hAlign="center" in the <para> tag.

<field name="CheckBox3" y="69.85mm" x="104.775mm" w="41.275mm" h="15.875mm">

   <ui>

      <checkButton>

         <border>

            <?templateDesigner StyleID apcb2?>

            <edge stroke="lowered"/>

            <fill/>

         </border>

      </checkButton>

   </ui>

   <font typeface="Myriad Pro"/>

   <margin leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>

   <para vAlign="top" hAlign="center"/>

   <value>

      <integer>0</integer>

   </value>

   <caption placement="right" reserve="25.3599mm">

      <para vAlign="middle"/>

      <font typeface="Myriad Pro"/>

      <value>

         <text>Check Box</text>

      </value>

   </caption>

   <items>

      <integer>1</integer>

      <integer>0</integer>

      <integer>2</integer>

   </items>

</field>

Thanks!  I don't know why they don't make the value of a checkbox editable just like the text box object.

It would be nice!

You also need to edit the XML if you want to change the colour of the check in the checkbox.

Hi Debbie,

 

THere is a <para> tag in the xml source of the check box , where you can play around with its alignment.

 

for egs : 

<

para vAlign="middle"/>     you can change the vAlign propeties.

Regards,

Abhishek

 

[Worst, Debbie]
