TmyDBCheckBox

edited July 2008 in General
Hello

Delphi 10 and ReportBuilder 10.8

When using the Tmydbcheckbox component, the style property determines the
actual graphic representation displayed. The proble is that the graphic is
both a) significantly smaller than the height and width properties of the
component and b) it is shifted to the left and not in the center.
Additionally, the sides of the component are not represently visually with a
dashed line.

All three of the above factors make is very difficult to design a report
that requires groups of check boxes in specific locations.

Is there a mechanism to address the three design problems mentioned above?


TIA

John

    The CheckBox components render like a left-aligned Label. Internally they
    use the WingDings font, so they are really text, not a graphic. When you
    change the height of the CheckBox, internally it modifies its font height.
    You can use the Alignment toolbar to left align the components.

    Enhancements could be made to render the dashed frame in the designer and to
    support alignment (left, center, right). I will add these items to the
    request list.

    The source code to the check box is installed to RBuilder\Demos\RCL and is
    heavily commented.
