Ok before I ruin this 35 dollar laptop....

I have been trying to align 3 check boxes that I have added to the Account Detail Page.
Each control is in it's own cell in the grid all in the same column subsequent rows...
However becaue the label lengths are different the actual boxes don't line up... My labels are aligned perfectly..
HOW DO I GET THESE %*&^$& BOXES to LINE UP.. ?????? as you can I have been playing with this for a little while now...
Thanks

Ted,
Great Idea... !! Only one issue through.. when you do that... the Labes aren't justified..??
Any one have a hint on making both the label and boxes line up on both right and left side..?
Thanks
Ted

there might be other ways....but recently came across a custom where a bp has done this with the text of a cb is actually another label control and they were placed in the way your describing...... )
Now to suggest an alternative, why dont you put blank spaces in your label and align then with the same length before putting them in the grid? This way all control on that cel will have the same lenght and thereby same formatting. |

Not a bad idea Nandu...
I have the following:
Primary Contact:
General Agent:
Do Not Solicit:
The trouble is not the Labels all being aligned on the right side it is the space between the Label and the actual checkbox. I am going to test your idea on using another column specially since this is the last column and I can control the coilumn size so this might work, I'll let you know.
Thanks

Here is how I resolved this issue by doing the following:
1 added an additional column to form and changed the sizing to be absolute rather than percentage.
In the new column I added labels and aligned them right.
In the next column I added the checkbox w/o labels aligned to the left.
Sizing the new column to 10 places the label close to the checkbox.. only issue is that it is slightly below the check box and not aligned perfectly, however it does appear close enough.
If anyone else has a better resolution I'd really be open to hear it, as this is nothing more than a work around rather than a solution.
