RE: Checkbox labels - right aligned

If I remember rightly, I had the same problem and got around it by subclassing a left aligned checkbox then in the init, change the justification from Left to Right.

I'm not at a machine to try this, but I'm pretty sure it works.

Hello Mike and Lou,

I have always done the same thing, using a label and no caption on the

checkbox.

The problem is when the user is tabbing thru the controls, a checkbox with

the label on the left puts a box around the caption when the checkbox gets

control.

With the label, there is no indication that the checkbox has focus, so the

user does not know they are sitting on the checkbox.

Wish it worked like it should. Now I am going to have to highlite the label

or something .... Bummer

I too, found this to be a pain, so I don't use Checkbox labels. Rather I

have objecxts on the form, the checkbox and the label that goes with it.

I can place the label anywhere I want then. With my base class checkbox, I

set autosize=.t. and no captions.

A bit of a kludge, but it works!

HTH,

Mike
