Yes, I have a CheckBoxContainer class

Maybe someone else can answer. I have tried with the container resize method, but at runtime, VFP will not allow me to change the width of the container based on the width of the column. I even go to the debugger, find the coontainer object and change its width right there. It just reverts back to the original width.

For now I am just using a container of fixed width of 40 with the checkbox centered in that. If a user changes the width of the column at runtime, the resize method does fire, but no width or re-centering occurs. :(
