BigCheckBox

[Curt]

Can anyone tell me, is asp.net able to render a checkbox similar to the asp
BigCheckBox? I am migrating an asp app to asp.net and need to emulate the
same look and feel of the old application.

Here is an asp example of the control I need for asp.net:

<input type="checkbox" class="BigCheckBox" Value="1234">

This tag seems to create a normal checkbox in asp.net, rather than the
larger "XP" looking checkbox that is rendered on the old asp page.

Thanks in advance,
Curt

Curt,

I have no idea how the asp BigCheckBox looks like, but, if all you want is
just to make a checkbox look bigger, you can try setting bigger font-size.

Thanks for the idea, but the font size does not appear to affect the size of
the checkbox.

Here are some examples I have tried:


<input id="abc" type="checkbox" CHECKED size="60">
(The CHECKED size attribute does not seem to do anything...)

<asp:checkboxlist id="CheckBoxList1" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana"
Font-Size="Smaller" Width="500px">
<asp:ListItem Value="test value"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:checkboxlist>

<asp:CheckBox id="CheckBox1" runat="server" Checked="True"></asp:CheckBox>

None of the checkboxes appear to be sizeable. The text on the asp:CheckBox
is sizeable, but not the checkbox itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Curt

May you can fake it with a little textbox that will catch onclick events and
toggle its content between "V" and empty? Just guessing...

I may have to employ a creative solution as such. Or, require the client to
adapt to the smaller checkbox. Which is not a real big deal, but it does
backslide from the "XP" look. I'm into retro clothes and cars...but I try
to avoid retro solutions!

Thanks for your ideas, I really appreciate the assistance. If you get any
more ideas, please post them!

Thanks,
Curt

This issue has nothing to do with ASP. Its a CSS issue.

See the "class="BigCheckBox"" in your snippet? There has to be a defenition
of that class in your page or in an external CSS file for it to work.

If you don't understand it check with the graphical designer of the site.
