Hello,

Do you need to add the checkbox in a table created from scratch or using a template?

In both cases you can generate a WordFragment with the checkbox and add it into the table.

For example, a table created from scratch:

// WordFragments
$checkboxFragmentA = new WordFragment($docx);
$checkboxFragmentA->addFormElement('checkbox', array('fontSize' => 11,    'defaultValue' => true));

$checkboxFragmentB = new WordFragment($docx);
$checkboxFragmentB->addFormElement('checkbox', array('fontSize' => 11,    'defaultValue' => false));

// table
$valuesTable = array(
    array(
        'Content A',
        $checkboxFragmentA,
    ),
    array(
        'Content B',
        $checkboxFragmentB,
    )
);
$docx->addTable($valuesTable);

Or filling a table using template methods:

// WordFragments
$checkboxFragmentA = new WordFragment($docx);
$checkboxFragmentA->addFormElement('checkbox', array('fontSize' => 11,    'defaultValue' => true));

$checkboxFragmentB = new WordFragment($docx);
$checkboxFragmentB->addFormElement('checkbox', array('fontSize' => 11,    'defaultValue' => false));

// replace a table in the template
$data = array(
                array(
                    'ITEM' => 'Product A',
                    'REFERENCE' => $checkboxFragmentA,
                ),
                array(
                    'ITEM' => 'Product B',
                    'REFERENCE' => $checkboxFragmentB,
                ),
        );

$docx->replaceTableVariable($data);

If you are using a DOCX template but not template symbols (so you can't use template methods), you can use the insertWordFragment method to set the reference node to insert the WordFragment.

Regards.
