I have a list box that takes up the whole space on the form left to right. I would now like to add something next to it and have the list box take up only 1/2 of the width. I have been able to make the box smaller but cannot figure out how to add something right next to it. Similar to creating another column.

Any ideas appreciated.

thanks!

I would probably just create another section.

You can drag and drop another item to the right of it, however if it is not the same length you will end up losing some space on the right side.

I would create a new section and just put the listbox in the section on the left. Then you can put whatever you want in the section on the right.

I attempted to attach a pdf, not sure if this will work.

I did add a section but it then sectioned my whole form into two columns, so I am not sure how to really make that happen.

Thanks for helping!!

Like others mentioned, you'll probably want to play around with your Section layout. The "allow subsection" checkbox within your main section can be checked as to allow you to add two side-by-side sections within it, placing your list on the left and whatever required content on the right.

Should also be able to drag, but everyone knows VFE is funny with formatting; make sure you're dragging the top-left of the object you want on the right and placing it as far to the right as possible at the top of your current listbox.

Thanks,

Ryan

I think you just need to practice dragging items to the right side of the listbox. . Insert a text field. In the text field "Translation" tab, change the "background color" from Transparent to some other color, so you can see the entire text field as a colored box. . Put your mouse cursor within the LEFTmost end of the text field and hold down the mouse. Drag the Leftmost end of the text field up to (just outside of) the RIGHTmost end of the Listbox (and a little lower than the listboxes top edge) . . Let go of the mouse. The text field will either be right next to the listbox, or above or below it because you had not lined up enough to the RIGHTmost side of the listbox. . Once you get the hang of it, you can line up multiple items next to each other. . Sections are not necessary for simple lineing up items as a SINGLE row of items. If you want to start stacking items next to each other (2 in the first "column", 3 in the second "column" - that is when you use Sections as containers of items, and you can move sections next to each other, same technique as outlined above for the text field). . - Beverly
