Is there any way to make the default Check Box larger. Seems kinda small when I use a large font and would be great to be able to make the box larger.

Thanks,
PCX
 
Don't know of any way.

Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
 
There is no way that I know of to make the visible check box bigger. You can make the area that affects the checkbox bigger by going to properties and adjusting the width and height. This can only make the checkable area be farther to the right and farther down.

Your're most likely aware that you can do either of the following:

1) enlarge the "click-able" area of the Check box. i use this so that the description can be clicked as well as the box itself.

2) Attach your check box to a textBox control and format the reply based upon the +;-;0;Null formatting options. I lifted the following from the help file "Format Property — Yes/No Data Type Example"

;"Always"[Blue];"Never"[Red]


But as Doug says, it's not much help for the actual check mark tho...
 
Try using the "Toggle" button control instead, it works the same way as the check box and it can be resized. Rob Marriott
