Thanks to all who replied. I'm sorry I'm only getting back now, but I
was away on business for a few days.
I was able to put the checkbox in a VBox in the itemRenderer (and
center it), but I lost any selected checks in the data because I only
had a reference to the data in the dataprovider. Once I put the
checkbox in the VBox, I added "selected ={data.cdrBusinessCall}" to
the checkbox and that worked for me.
Thanks again for the help.
