Table Widget Formatting

0

Hi, I am new to Mendix and have been tweaking the table widget to try and format it. How do you actually customize the location of the components (e.g. checkbox and text box) in each table cells? As you can see in the pictures, it is currently really messy and could use some serious formatting. View in Browser: View in Modeller:

Hello! First I'd ask why you chose to use a table for formatting? It might be better to use containers with custom classes and some CSS to format the layout of your page.

If you must use the table, try putting each element into its own cell then merging or adjusting cell sizes as needed to achieve some formatting goals. You might still need some custom styling to achieve exactly what you want.

Hi, thanks for replying. Where do you learn about the custom classes that can be used to format the page? The Mendix tutorials don't really touch on it.

You can find some predefined classes here: https://docs.mendix.com/howto/modeling-basics/styles.

If you make use of Mendix versions with Atlas Ui you can also make use of these helper classes: https://atlas.mendix.com/p/helpers/7881299347899271
