The Checkbox List is used when a user can select multiple items from a list. Since the Checkbox List cannot make use of the Validation Controls, user input cannot be required. If validation is required, a Listbox control should be used instead.

Adding a Checkbox List is very similar to adding the Dropdown List or the Listbox, but the Checkbox List adds two options for the layout of the items in the list:

Repeat Direction: The Repeat Direction sets how the items in the list will repeat on the page. The options are:

• Vertical: Items flow top to bottom, then left to right
• Horizontal: Items flow left to right, then top to bottom

Repeat Columns: The Repeat Columns set how many columns across the page will be used for display of the items.

In addition to adding a Checkbox List, this presentation will introduce:

• Using the Column Span (CS:) feature
• Using the Sorting capability of the List Items form
• Using the “Selected” option of the List Items form
