Is there a way to customize the appearance of the standard "3D" look for asp.net checkboxes to have a solid 1px style? When applying styling to the Border property, it simply adds a border around the checkbox itself. I'm looking to change the styling of the checkbox itself rather than just adding a border.
Instead of opting for a non-traditional control, the recommended approach is to use unobtrusive javascript to handle it post-creation. Check out for a demonstration.
The advantage of utilizing the ASP checkbox standard lies in its simplicity when writing code. There's no need to develop a custom user control, and all current code/pages remain unaffected by the update.
Most importantly, this standard HTML control is universally recognized by all browsers. It remains accessible to all users even if they disable javascript. For instance, visually impaired individuals relying on screen readers can accurately identify it as a checkbox instead of just an image or hyperlink.
In order to create a distinct appearance for CheckBox, consider using custom images instead of the checkbox control itself. Overlay these images on top of a hyperlink or image element for a unique look. Thanks!
When it comes to ASP.NET Web Forms and Bootstrap, none of the traditional methods seem to work effectively.
In my experience, I found success with Paul Sheriff's Simple Bootstrap CheckBox for Web Forms
<style>
.checkbox .btn, .checkbox-inline .btn {
padding-left: 2em;
min-width: 8em;
}
.checkbox label, .checkbox-inline label {
text-align: left;
padding-left: 0.5em;
}
.checkbox input[type="checkbox"]{
float:none;
}
</style>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="btn btn-default">
<asp:CheckBox ID="chk1" runat="server" Text="Required" />
</label>
</div>
</div>
The implementation looks like this...

The most efficient method is to utilize the ASP checkbox control with a personalized design.
chkOrder.InputAttributes["class"] = "uniqueStyleClass";
You may implement it in a similar manner for better customization. I trust this information is beneficial.
By inserting this code snippet into your CSS file, you can easily customize the appearance of your checkboxes. While it may not be the most ideal solution, it allows you to overlay your own styles onto the default checkbox or radio button.
input[type='checkbox']:after {
width: 9px;
height: 9px;
border-radius: 9px;
top: -2px;
left: -1px;
position: relative;
background-color: #3B8054;
content: '';
display: inline-block;
visibility: visible;
border: 3px solid #3B8054;
transition: 0.5s ease;
cursor: pointer;
}
input[type='checkbox']:checked:after {
background-color: #9DFF00;
}
Have you considered using the Asp.net CheckBox button along with the ToggleButtonExtender provided by the Ajax control toolkit?
Uncertain if this question is directly related to asp.net.. Check out this resource for some valuable information:
Remember that when using the asp:CheckBox control, it generates more than just a simple checkbox input element.
For instance, in my code snippet, it produces:
<span class="CheckBoxStyle">
<input id="ctl00_cphContent_cbCheckBox"
name="ctl00$cphContent$cbCheckBox"
type="checkbox">
</span>
Here, CheckBoxStyle represents the value of the CssClass attribute assigned to the control, and cbCheckBox is the ID of the control.
To customize the appearance of the checkbox, you will need to create CSS rules targeting it like so:
span.CheckBox input {
/* Your styles here */
}
It all comes down to the browser you're using.

After exploring various solutions, I found that the Ajax Control Toolkit produces a messy html output filled with spans and cumbersome styling.
While using css styling with ::before tags to conceal the original control's box seemed promising, adding runat=server to make it accessible sometimes resulted in the checkbox not registering value changes unless clicked directly on the original control.
In certain methods, if the label text was too long, it would either overlap with or end up below the checkbox on the screen.
Ultimately, following the recommendation from @dimarzionist's response on this page, I opted for an asp.net ImageButton approach. This allowed me to manage styles effectively and ascertain checkbox status via codebehind.
https://i.sstatic.net/ZUi1D.png
<asp:ImageButton ID="mycheckbox" CssClass="checkbox" runat="server" OnClick="checkbox_Click" ImageUrl="unchecked.png" />
<span class="checkboxlabel">I have read and promise to fulfill the <a href="/index.aspx">rules and obligations</a></span>
Code-behind snippet:
protected void checkbox_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e) {
if (mycheckbox.ImageUrl == "unchecked.png") {
mycheckbox.ImageUrl = "checked.png";
//Do something if user checks the box
} else {
mycheckbox.ImageUrl = "unchecked.png";
//Do something if the user unchecks the box
}
}
Furthermore, with this method, the <span> used for the checkbox text will align perfectly with the checkbox.

.checkboxlabel{
vertical-align:middle;
font-weight: bold;
}
.checkbox{
height: 24px; /*height of the checkbox image*/
vertical-align: middle;
}
