October 30, 201213 yr Why can't we have tick boxes? Every other app I know uses them... my boss wants them... even the setting in the Filemaker app uses them... why can't we have them!?
October 30, 201213 yr Author We can - if we make them ourselves. Not good enough! :-D Feature request Sent!
October 30, 201213 yr Why can't we have tick boxes? Every other app I know uses them... my boss wants them... even the setting in the Filemaker app uses them... why can't we have them!? Is it possible that this is a Brittish english v US english? Tic box v check box? In layout mode, go to INSERT menu :: select FIELD/CONTROL :: select CHECKBOX SET
October 30, 201213 yr Nah, everyone understands checkbox was meant but we STILL need to make them ourselves by first creating the value list and then attaching the control to the field. There is no built-in setting without taking those steps. :-)
October 30, 201213 yr Since the conversation came up, here is a small sample clickbox example for anyone who might need it. tickbox.zip
October 30, 201213 yr How about a simple (and cheap) one? What is the likelihood that Webdings font is installed on the average, modern computer? Does this work on Mac?
October 30, 201213 yr Hi Dan, Webdings is standard on both platforms. The only thing to watch out for is if you change to use a custom theme in 12 - it'll default those pretty icon fonts back to 'a' or whatever so you must respecify them. It's a small thing and webdings is well worth it. :^)
