Checkbox.align readwrite property


Get or set the Checkbox alignment, which position and size will be aligned relative to its parent (alignment persists even if the size of the parent changes).

This property uses a string to specify the Checkbox alignment :

  • "all" : the Checkbox will be aligned along all the parent borders (and will cover the entire parent client area).
  • "bottom" : the Checkbox will be aligned along the bottom border of the parent, preserving its height.
  • "top" : the Checkbox will be aligned along the the top border of the parent, preserving its height.
  • "right" : the Checkbox will be aligned along the right border of the parent, preserving its width.
  • "left" : the Checkbox will be aligned along the left border of the parent, preserving its width.
