CheckBoxList item vertical distribution

[dbuchanan]

When there are only a few items in the CheckBoxList they are distributed in
a sparse maner such as one at top, one in the middle and one at the bottom.
Is there any way to have the vertical spacing always consistent and at the
top? I looked for a setting but did not see one,.

Thanks,
Doug

Hi

By default checkboxlist remain in vertical orientation ... and in
about 5px margin...
check you checkboxlist so that it dont have any height specified...
check also cellpadding and cellspacing... and change the repeat layout
from table to flow...

Best of luck

Hello Doug,

I reproduce the sparse layout of CheckBoxList when a big value of the
property "Height" is set in the control. For example:

<asp:CheckBoxList Height="500" runat="server" ID="chkList"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="szDescription"
DataValueField="wCustType" />

Doug, would you please check whether there is a definition of Height on
your side? By removing the Height property, CheckBoxList will stay at the
top and use the default cell spacing (if not defined elsewhere) between the
checkboxes as is expected.

If this suggestion does not help, would you please show us some sample
code, e.g. your definition of the CheckBoxList in the aspx page, or
code-behind codes that operate on the control's properties?

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
