How to: Set Layout in a CheckBoxList Web Server Control
Visual Studio 2005
By default, the CheckBoxList control displays a single column of check boxes. However, you can specify any number of columns, and within the columns, you can specify how the items are ordered: vertically (the default) or horizontally. Vertical layout in three columns results in a layout such as the following:
A D G B E H C F
Horizontal layout for the same items results in the following layout:
A B C D E F G H
To specify column count and ordering
-
Set the CheckBoxList control's RepeatColumns property to the number of columns you want.
-
Set the RepeatDirection to Vertical or Horizontal. If you are setting the property in code, use the RepeatDirection enumeration, as shown in the following example:
CheckBoxList1.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal
CheckBoxList1.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal;
