Changing Position of CheckBoxes in Advanced XML

Hi All,

I have a panel on a dashboard that shows different business documents, which users can check depending on what they want to search

http://screencast.com/t/6Qx2P0q3z6

Is there a way to keep the check boxes on the left side of the panel - maybe some param I need? I'd like to add some more search/text fields on the right side, and the default setting takes up the whole first panel.

Thanks in Advance!

Put your check boxes, etc. in layoutPanel panel_row1_col1_grp1 then put more search/text fields in panel_row1_col1_grp2.

You could use an HTML table to align the labels with the text boxes.

Hi Rich,

Do you know how I can allign text boxes as well?

I'd like the lable to sit on top of the text box.

Can I do that with params, or do I need HTML/CSS?

Thanks You!,
Greg

Putting each checkbox in its own grp will keep them horizontal. You can put the added search/text in the next-higher grp number(s).

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure that will work. If you keep the check boxes in grp1, they list vertically rather than across.
