I think you need javaobject for accessing additional node funtions

Thanks a lot Cableguy!
You pointed me in the right direction. I went digging into javaobject and found a lot of stuff, including the answer to most of my problems!

If you can't find a way to change it make your own view with a minimal size checkbox (without text) and a label to the left of it.

You can use the same solution as you found on your Combobox question, just change Combobox to Checkbox.

Thank you everyone.
That's a good idea derez. Fortunately, however, setting the orientation to right-to-left fixed everything!

It's an old thread and certainly problem got a solution But I recently had the same problem because I wanted to center checkbox in a rectangle. As I didn't want to create manually a panel for each checkbox, I created a new class, XCheckbox, which supersedes Checkbox.

To use it, simply add the class in your application:

Sub Globals
    Private CHK As CheckBox
    Private CHK2 As CheckBox
    Private CHK3 As CheckBox
    Private XCHK,XCHK2,XCHK3 As XCheckbox
    ...
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    XCHK.Initialize(CHK)
    XCHK2.Initialize(CHK2)
    XCHK2.Initialize(CHK3)
    ...
End Sub

Sub xxx
    ...
    If CHK.Checked And ... then ...
    XCHK2.mLabel.Text = "New label for CHK"
    ...
End Sub

Example for 3 different initial checkboxes :


Note : there is a conditional statement in the file because I use a library for all my development.
