Hello,
Just wondering if anyone/everyone else has problems with checkbox labels
that are right aligned ?
The checkbox will not stay in the same position on the form after I save the
form and reopen.
Very frustrating ...
Is there a work around for this ?
Thanks,
Kent

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

It's a bug. When I needed to do that I just added a separate label. :(

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

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 Dave,
I am using subclassed checkboxes.
If you get a chance, would you please check and verify your work around.
I will test now, if leaving the checkbox on the form as left aligned
(default) and change to right align in the forms init helps.
Thanks a million,
Kent

It is a bug. If you change the checkbox's AutoSize to false the problem goes away.
