Formatting Checkboxes

kennyaidan · Apr 30, 2003

Hi,
I was looking to find out how to format a list of check boxes. My check box code is

<asp:CheckBoxList id="check" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"/>

They are set up in the code using the following code
dim mylist=New ArrayList
while (dr.Read())
aidan=dr.GetString(0)
aidan1=dr.GetString(1)
aidan2=dr.GetString(2)
aidan3=dr.GetString(3)
mylist.Add(aidan)

End While

check.DataSource=mylist
check.DataBind()

Where can i add in font formating tags do that lets say all checkboxes are displayed using the following font type size and color
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#3B52B9">

I'm only a beginner asp.net programmer so any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

Try using a style tag. I can't find the website, but here is my code I was playing around with:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">

' Insert page code here
'
Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)

'If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Button1.Style("background-color&quot

= "Lightblue"
Button1.Style("FONT&quot

= "14pt verdana"

'End If

End Sub

Sub Button_Click(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Button1.Style("background-color&quot

= "Yellow"
Button1.Style("FONT&quot

= "20pt verdana"
DropDownList1.Style("background-color&quot

= "Yellow"
End Sub

Sub subListChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Button1.Style("background-color&quot

= DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value

End Sub

</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<p>
<asp:Button id="Button1" style="BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: black; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: black; FONT: 8pt verdana; BORDER-TOP-COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: lightgreen; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: black" onclick="Button_Click" runat="server" Text="Click Me!" Button="Button" Width="174px" Height="31px" Font-Bold="True"></asp:Button>
</p>
<p>
<font face="Book Antiqua"><strong>Make a color selection for the above button:</strong></font>
</p>
<p>
<asp

ropDownList id="DropDownList1" style="FONT: 14pt verdana; COLOR: purple; BACKGROUND-COLOR: lightblue" runat="server" Width="282px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="subListChanged" AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem Value="-- Make a Selection --">-- Make a Selection --</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="red">Red</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="yellow">Yellow</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="blue">Blue</asp:ListItem>
</asp

ropDownList>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I wanted to change the style on the fly. If you look up asp.net and style in Google, you may find lots.

Good luck
