Custom checkbox
Hi,
I need a custom checkbox implementation for displaying boolean values in a table.
When true, a green tick needs to be shown, when false a red cross.
The component is only for displaying. For editing a normal checkbox is used in a seperate form. The checkbox needs to be bound on a datasource.
I tried several things like subclassing checkbox and adding my own stylename, but it doesn't seem to work.
Has someone got some hints?
Thanks
Add a generated column with the same name as your boolean column, and make it return an embedded. The embedded returned is a green tick if boolean==true and a red cross is boolean==false.
