This is a small one. I often use combo boxes with text aligned left. However, when I use a value list, the list is aligned center. How can I make the value list follow the same alignment as the field itself?
Go to designer.
Make sure the text toolbar is visible (Views:Toolbars:Text)
Click on the combo box.
Align the text with the text alignment buttons (left, center, right).
I also use a slightly smaller font (via CSS styleClass) for the combo box so it’s content doesn’t bleed into the frame. You may want to experiment with the margin property as well.
Miller Time!
Silly me. It does work. However, a text field defaults to align left and value lists seem all to be alignj center. Seems that value lists should inherit the horizontal alignment property of the field type or perhaps default to align left as a start.
Bob,
Assign a STYLE to the form. Then specify how the default alignment should work in the style sheet.
You can also subclass the styles for each object type - so you can override the defaults with a STYLE, rather than just changing their properties in a hard-coded way.
Hope this helps.
Excellent. Thank you, Bob
