Check Box: Layout Examples

In this topic, you can find examples of configurations of layouts with check boxes.

Check Box Next to a UI Element

Suppose that you want to place the Canceled check box next to the Cancel By box in the same row, as shown in the following screenshot.

Figure 1. A check box next to a box


You use the following code. 

<field name="CancelDate">
  <qp-field control-state.bind="CurrentDocument.Cancelled" 
    config-enabled.bind="false"></qp-field>
</field>
Tip: You do not need to specify class="no-label" for the second control to omit the empty label of the check box because class="no-label" is used by default for a qp-field tag inside a field tag.

Multiple Check Boxes in a Row

Suppose that you need to display three check boxes in a row, as shown in the following screenshot.

Figure 2. Multiple check boxes in a row


The following code implements this layout.

<field name="fake01" unbound replace-content>
    <qp-field control-state.bind="StaffScheduleSelected.WeeklyOnSun" 
      config-enabled.bind="false" class="col-4"></qp-field>
    <qp-field control-state.bind="StaffScheduleSelected.WeeklyOnWed" 
      config-enabled.bind="false" class="col-4"></qp-field>
    <qp-field control-state.bind="StaffScheduleSelected.WeeklyOnSat" 
      config-enabled.bind="false" class="col-4"></qp-field>
</field>

You do not need to set class="no-label" to remove the label before each check box because this class is used by default in this case.

You have distributed the check boxes equally with class="col-4", which means that each check box occupies four (12 / 3 = 4) columns out of 12 columns that the replaced field occupies. (If you need to have four columns and need to distribute them equally, you should use class="col-3".)
