CheckBoxList with scroll bars 1

[JCruz063]

Hi All,
Is it possible to have a CheckBoxList control with scroll bars? My application needs to allow the user to select multiple items from a list and my boss wants each item to have a check box next to it. Currently I'm using the CheckBoxList control. The problem I have is that there are too many items and the CheckBoxList doesn't seen to use scroll bars. I know I can have it display multiple columns but my boss doesn not want that. Can anybody tell me how I could create a CheckBoxList control that has scroll bars?

Thanks

JC

You can stick it in a scrolling div:

<div style="height:50px;width:350px;overflow:auto">
  <asp:CheckBoxList ....  />
</div>

This trick works nicely for any type of control or anything else. The only problem is printing... it doesn't.

Paul, thanks a lot... It works beatifully, but there is one little problem. I have more than one CheckBoxList on the same page and they need to be displayed horizontally, one next to the other. The problem is that I can't make them appear one next to the other. No matter what I do, the DIVs are displayed one on top of the other. Besides using GridLayout mode, is there any way I could make the DIVs be displayed next to each other?

Thanks!

Place them into a table.
