asp:checkbox LabelAttributes.Add

>>the checkbox control returns the name of the checkbox
returns where?
can u post a screenshot of the user control?

I am not a 100% clear on what you are asking.
Would a label, where the text property changes when your textbox is checked sort you out?

Lotok:
Thanks for the quick reply.  I am attempting a new way to tackle my earlier problem of having a checkbox in a user control displayed within a *.aspx page.  What I'm trying to do is the following:
A user fills out various textboxes with name, address, email, etc. and checks a checkbox to indicate the name and date of a conference to attend. This checkbox control now gets returned by email with the name of the checkbox (like "chk_workshop_01") and a "true" indicator if cheked or "false" indicator if not checked. What i want is to have this checkbox return by email with a name other than "chk_workshop_01" and an inidcator containing a string like "April 23, 2010" if checked and a blank if not checked. I was thinking that a checkbox property like "labelattributes "  might do the trick.

Please help.

rather than returning checkbox.id in the email, you could just have something like below amoung the code generating the email. Just return the string in the email.

The other option is to create a custom attribute which attaches a label to the checkbox. If you dont like the code below I can see if I can mock something up like that or point you to a good tutorial (depends if time permits)

dim x as string = ""
if checkbox1.checked = true then 
x = "Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010 "
else
x = "Not Attending"
End If

Thank you for the quick reply. unfotunately i don't have access to the code generating the email. is there any way you can  think of having this checkbox return something other than the checkbox name and "true"/"false"?  i have to  have something working to show today.

Checkboxes do have a text property which is usually used to show the end user what they are for.

for example you could change "Tick Here for Event"  to  "Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010 "

You cant change the variable name and the boolean value has to be a boolean so there is no point changing that. The .text option is your best bet.

chk_workshop_01.text = "Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010 "

Select allOpen in new window

Can you clarify for me, the email being generated by 3rd party code just provides the variable name? or is it the control ID? as well as the boolean value...  
Do you have even have access to other properties of the control?

If you were really struggling,  chk_workshop_01.ID = "Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010 " * might* work.
I am not sure if it will like havign the ID changed at runtime.

Lotok:
Thank you. I tried your suggested text change and did display on the form but returned only the name of the control (chk_workshop_1) and a "true" next to the id.  I've been able to pass a value to a label and display that well. Is there any way to have a checkbox, when checked,  return somethign other than "true" or "false" or maybe return a blank?

No, the checkbox control returns a boolean.
What is returning the checkbox name? A 3rd party piece of code for which you dont have the source?

You can trying changing the ID at runtime, other than that, are you really stuck with a checkbox or can you change it to a DDL? a drop down list could have attending/not attening as the text shown on the page and then the date or blank as a value. It would seem to fit your needs better.

Lotok:
Thanks for your help. i'm getting there... you mentioned ch anging the checkbox ID at  run time. Is there a way to replace a checkbox ID of something like "   <asp:CheckBox ID="Workshop_One_Date" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnCheckedChanged="CheckBox1_CheckedChanged"  Text="Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010 "    />
when Workshop_One_Date.checked replace Replace("_", " ")
VS indicates that "replace" is not a member of checkbox.  do you know a workaround?

Lotok:

I came across this article and tought perhaps we could devise a solution to my checkbox issue.

http://forums.asp.net/p/1050481/3774639.aspx#3774639

It seems that checkbox controls are rendered at runtime surrounded by a <span> tag and that this tag also creates a label based on the UniqueID (checkbox id) of the control. I'm trying to find a way to access and change this <label>  </label> tag to add my own string instead of the checkboxID

thanks,

Try this

****MARKUP****

<asp:CheckBox ID="Workshop_One_Date" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" Text="Chosen Conference: April 23, 2010" />

****CODE BEHIND****

Protected Sub Workshop_One_Date_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Workshop_One_Date.CheckedChanged
        If Workshop_One_Date.Checked = True Then
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "chkWorkShopOneChecked"
        Else
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "chkWorkShopOneNotChecked"
        End If
    End Sub

Lotok:
thank you for your suggestion. I tried it several times however, the ID of the checkbox is the only item returned.  I have a solution for a dropdown box but i'm being asked to create a checkbox solution that identifies the checkbox (but  not with the checkbox ID) and its value (not "true" or "false" but with a date string).  I'm nearing the end of my time to have this. Can you think of any solution, even if it's to replace the "true" or "false" with a string?
Thanks,

You cant replace the true or false with a string, it's a boolean value.
Changing the ID like my previous example works. So they dont want to ID changed now?

If you dont have access to the email source, so you cant just insert a string or have the checkbox control a label.
They dont want to use the returned control ID as a method of returning the string
They dont want to change the control away from checkbox
They dont want to use the checkbox text property

It sounds like the only solution they want is to change the true or false value to a string which cannot be done. If they are willing to have something else done please clarify, but it seems like a no goer.

Lotok:

thank you, having that response gives me a little cover when explaining progress...
I was thinking of a possible compromise. I was able to pass the value of a string to a label. that seems to work.

My question now is this:  is there a way to not display the "true" or "false" when the checkbox is checked.  I can handle the reply with a label.text="string" for true or false, but is there a way to hide the "true" / "false" reply?

The only way the true or false is showing is if the source of the page is set to display it.

Before you said you couldn't use a label, but now you have been allowed. From that I take it that you have access to the source but have limited permission to change it?

Can you post some of the source code? That way I can see where the checkbox details are being shown and advise you how to prevent it. It will somewhere be showing the result of checkbox.checked to display the true or false..

I will be able to see better if you can provide code.

Thank you for your help.

Can you clarify from the above which markup/code controls the email being sent? Which controls and code belongs to that email?
I am trying to work out from your code what is preventing you just creating a label and putting the dates etc on there and where the code is saying what information the email shows. Such as the true or false output.

Lotok:

I got a solution working.  I stripped away the old code and replaced with a clean copy of  your suggestion for changing the ID of the checkbox and it worked. Now the return is like this:

Date of Workshop Selected: May 11, 2010: True
Your Comments: : test-33_this is fema test with both checkboxes ids changed to string stating the date of the workshop selected.
-------

I'm  happy with the return. however, if i remember right,  you're telling me that the "true" or "false" return can't be changed. Is that correct?

Lotok:
I'm almost there....  the code you suggested is working when checkbox is selected but when not selected it returns only a "false".  can you please review my code:
---------
<script runat="server">
    Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim Workshop_One_Date As CheckBox = CType(RSVPForm1.FindControl("Workshop_One_Date"), CheckBox)

        Dim lblWorkshop_01 As Label = CType(RSVPForm1.FindControl("lblWorkshop_01"), Label)
        lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "false"
         
        If Workshop_One_Date.Checked = True Then
 
            lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "true"
   
            lblWorkshop_01.Text = "Date of Workshop: April 23, 2010"
            'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "true"
           
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "Date of Workshop Selected: April 23, 2010"
                 
        Else
            Workshop_One_Date.Text = "Not Selected "

            lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "false"
            lblWorkshop_01.Text = "Date of Workshop Not Selected: April 23, 2010"
           
            'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "false"
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "Date of Workshop Selected: April 23, 2010"
        End If
    End Sub
</script>
-----------

Try this. You had the id being changed to the same thing regardless of the true or false outcome.

Dim Workshop_One_Date As CheckBox = CType(RSVPForm1.FindControl("Workshop_One_Date"), CheckBox)

        Dim lblWorkshop_01 As Label = CType(RSVPForm1.FindControl("lblWorkshop_01"), Label)
        lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "false"
          
        If Workshop_One_Date.Checked = True Then
  
            lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "true"
    
            lblWorkshop_01.Text = "Date of Workshop: April 23, 2010"
            'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "true"
            
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "Date of Workshop Selected: April 23, 2010"
                 
        Else
            Workshop_One_Date.Text = "Not Selected "

            lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "false"
            lblWorkshop_01.Text = "Date of Workshop Not Selected: April 23, 2010"
            
            'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "false"
            Workshop_One_Date.ID = "Not Selected "
        End If

Select allOpen in new window

Oh just noticed you also did this:
'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "false"

if you hide the control completely there will be nothing to show, the control needs to be visible.

You will want

'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "True"

Lotok:
Thank you for the quck catch.
When i do not select the first checkbox, i get a "Label: false"....  below is my sub with your suggestion

        Dim Workshop_One_Date As CheckBox = CType(RSVPForm1.FindControl("Workshop_One_Date"), CheckBox)

        lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "false"
           
        If Workshop_One_Date.Checked = True Then
   
            lblWorkshop_01.Visible = "true"
     
            lblWorkshop_01.Text = "Date of Workshop: April 23, 2010"
            'Workshop_One_Date.Visible = "true"

From the output I think you have some redundant code there.

if you check the box and then uncheck it, then see the output.
I have a hunch that it will change, if it does, its because the checkbox didnt change, on the other tests. none of the checkedchanged code took place for that checkbox.

A solution to that is a checkboxlist rather than 2 checkboxes and put the code in indexchanged.

 OR

have the event dates in the labels by default (like below). then you will just get a true beside the selected one and a false beside the one that wasnt selected.

I need to goto sleep, I will check back in about 7 hrs to see how it went.
