Check box center alignment (1 Viewer)

[Gismo]

Hi all,

Has anyone come across an easy way of centering a check box?
when a check box is created, it is aligned top left of the orange block and not centered with the label
I then remove from layout to center or manually create the check box without a layout

no way I'm aware of. Many of the format properties are ignored.

You can use a textbox to display a checkbox - see this link https://www.access-programmers.co.u...s-a-resizeable-and-colourful-checkbox.305659/

and set the text align property to centre the control horizontally and use the margin properties to centre the character vertically in the control if required.

You can also use images on command buttons. You can have any image you like. See my blog here for more information:-

Hi. When using a layout, you can add empty cells to center the checkbox.

Are you referring to vertical centering? Try removing the layout and then selecting the label only. Then in the properties for Top, enter in a value that centers the label onto the checkbox. The value will be about 0.05 less than the original value. At least, that's what it is for me using inches. It may be different if you are using centimeters. Not much of an improvement, but it is a little easier to work with that way.
