Hi,

I have a general question about the checkbox item in Visual Studio. Is it possible to have the check next to the label be dynamic and move depending on if the text is long? I would like to have this option if it's possible because on my app, if the price is longer than the text I set for it, the checkbox and the label will overlap(text right aligned, check center aligned)

Is this possible?

Certainly.. make a user control or a panel.. drop a label in said control.. dock the label to the left. Now drop a checkbox into the control. Set to fill. Now set your user control (or panel)'s height to about what.. 23? Just so it looks like one line. There you go.

I'm not seeing a fill property, what component would it be with? I can't see it on either the panel,label, or checkbox control

Look under Dock.

Using a checkbox to hold a price is interesting, to say the least.

However, have you checked out the AutoSize property?
I think it would be preferable, from a friendly user interface point of view, to allow enough room for the longest label it's likely to have, rather than moving the checkbox button itself.

You might also look at putting the checkboxes into a FlowLayoutPanel so that they shift if the text in the previous control takes more room.


When the text of the checkbox changes the control beside it moves


This was done just putting the controls in a formlayoutpanel and changing the text property in code.
