Hello Awesome Community! I'm new to AX development still learning!

I want to have a box in my report that displays "✓" or "☒" if it equals a certain value in a field of the temp table.

I have done it using a text box with an "X" inside it and using a visibility expression to show and hide. But it does not look good haha. if there is a more better looking way more professional please inform me.

Thanks in advance!!!!

I remember use of Wingdings font with chars 251 and 252. You can use expression as following

=IIF(Fields!YourFieldName.Value = 1, Chr(252), Chr(251))

Don't forget to select correct font

I've found video which was very helpful but there is a small issue.

In my expression I want it to show a checked box if the data in the field is equal "05".

the checked box appears when the data is equal to 05, that's fine. But when the data does not equal 05, an empty box should appear but 5 different shapes appears instead of an empty check box.

Here is my expression for the text box:

=IIF(Fileds!BankTransType.value = 05, chr(254), chr(168))

You can use symbol using code 127

=IIF(Fileds!BankTransType.value = 05, chr(254), chr(127))

Tried different codes but it still displays the same thing when the expression is false :(

Yes I did but unfortunately it didn't work. Still shows the multiple shapes when it's false.
