Hi Joe, we're reproducing a form where we'd like our checkboxes to be in a single column, rather than two columns. Can you add a setting to the "Checkboxes" element for the number of columns to use?

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi Jamie and Eric,

This is actually controlled by a setting in the theme.skin file. If you look for this in your theme.skin file:

<asp:CheckBoxList runat="server"
       CssClass="aspcheckboxlist"
       RepeatColumns="2"
       RepeatDirection="horizontal"
       RepeatLayout="Table"

       />

you could change it to 1, but that may (and maybe not) also affect other checkbox lists in the site. If it causes a change elsewhere that you don't like you could work around it by copying your skin with a new name, change it only in that skin and then set that as the skin for the Form Wizard page.

What I will do for the next release of Form Wizard is add a SkinID to the checkbox list so that then you could use this:

<asp:CheckBoxList runat="server" SkinID="FormWizard"
       CssClass="aspcheckboxlist"
       RepeatColumns="1"
       RepeatDirection="horizontal"
       RepeatLayout="Table"
       />

which would only affect the Form Wizard checkboxlists

Best,

Joe

It may not affect other places in the site, I'm not sure either way, the other places using checkbox list may have a skinid on them and then they would not be affected. Best to just look around in places where checkbox lists are used before and after the change. It will only affect checkboxlists that do not have a skinid on them.

It is really setting a property of the server control that changes the way it renders markup so it is not possible to control from css.

But definitely we will have a skinid on it in the next release of Form Wizard so it can be isolated.

Best,

Joe

Hi Jamie,

I've just uploaded Form Wizard Pro 0.0.1.9

It has the SkinID on the CheckBoxList and now options can have text up to 255 characters.

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Can you add the FormWizard SkinId to the RadioButtonList like you did the CheckBoxList? Currently, I am just using this in my theme.skin file but I would like to be able specifiy the SkinID so I am only affecting the FormWizard with these settings.

 <asp:RadioButtonList  runat="server"
        CssClass="aspcheckboxlist"
  RepeatColumns="2"
  RepeatDirection="horizontal"
  RepeatLayout="Table"
 />
 

Thanks,
Joe D.
