Centralizing checkboxes for widgetcolumn

[0zz]

Hi!

I have a Contact Book grid panel containing Name, Email and "Select" (widgetcolumn with checkbox) columns.

I would like to have the checkboxes (without any box label) to be aligned in the center? just like the "Select" header.

Please advise how can I align the checkboxes to the center of the "Select" column.

Hi, actually it is a bug https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?307438 but as I can see it was moved to as not reproducible. There is override provided to fix this behavior.

That bug (EXTJS-20017) was marked as Won't Fix. As I understand the explanation, the 'align' option is for aligning the text in the column. Because the widget is always sized to the full width of the cell, the 'align' option is not relevant here.

Hi, thanks for posting! This fix works for Chrome but not Internet Explorer. Do you have a fix for Internet Explorer?

Hi, unfortunately I have no solution at the moment. I will try to find some solution.

A possible visual solution to what 0zz asked for is using a font icon as a column header and shrinking the column width, i.e.

text: '<i style="font-size:1.2em;" class="fa fa-check-square-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>',
width : 35,

In this case the html-native checkbox can be used:

{
                xtype: 'widgetcolumn',
                width: 200,
                align: 'center',
                widget: {
                    xtype: 'component',
                    html: '<input type="checkbox">'
                }
            }

The label and the html input are placed correctly, according specification. The only component which is not aligned is span component with custom checkbox image - and it is definitely a bug, but extjs team says it is correct. So actually it is not a problem of widget column it is a problem of text-align css property in conjunction with extjs'es checkbox - it will be newer properly aligned with text-align property.

I'm aware that this is an old thread. But since I came across it and have a different solution, I figured I'd share it.

            {
                xtype: 'widgetcolumn',
                width: 200,
                widget: {
                    xtype: 'container',
                    layout: {            
                        type: 'vbox',
                        align: 'center',
                    },
                    items: [{
                        xtype: 'checkbox'
                    }]
                }
            }
