Grid / Checkbox in dialog form

Hello all,

Just wanted to ask if it’s possible to either:

  • Add a grid control in a dialog form -OR-
  • Move the checkbox text from left side to right side (so the tick box will be in the left) when in the dialog form

Your insights will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hi,

You can design a form with a grid and then call this form from a dialog. This is the stadard way it si done for customizable forms.

A checkbox can only have its text positioned either to the left or on the top. The LabelPosition property controls it. Right side is not possible.

If you still want to achieve this, one hack is to put a checkbox and a statictext control in a group control. FOr the checkbox, set the showLabel property to No.

Hello lparrungao,

A dialog in Microsoft Dynamics AX is a simple form with a standardized layout, created by using the Dialog system class. Dialogs should allow users to enter some simple values. Do not create complex dialogs—create forms and call the form instead. Dialogs are non-modal. The dialog should not open a secondary window that requires user interaction. All user interaction should be carried out within the dialog.

The label for any control like a check box can only be positioned either on the left or above the control. If still you want to show some text for the checkbox on the right side of the control then you can add another static text control and position it on the right side of the checkbox control.
