How to get materializecss flag to work with @ Html.CheckBoxFor?

Question

So, I had a problem implementing the materializecss checkbox using @ Html.CheckBoxFor. If I enter exactly:

<input type="checkbox" id="test5" />
<label for="test5">Red</label>

it works. But if I try this:

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "login-label" })
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @type = "checkbox" })

the flag disappears from the page to the left (the flag style is set to -99999 on the left).

Is there any other way that I can implement CheckBoxFor to make materialization work together?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the order of ChecBoxFor and LabelFor was similar to peter.edwards. For me, the problem was caused by a hidden element generated by @ Html.CheckBoxFor:

<input checked="checked" class="check-box" data-val="true" id="IsActive" name="IsActive" type="checkbox" value="true">
<input name="IsActive" type="hidden" value="false">
<label for="IsActive">IsActive</label>

, :

 $("input[type='hidden']").each(function (index, element) { 
        $(this).appendTo($(element).parent());
    });

Answer 2

...

@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @type = "checkbox" })
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "login-label" })

Answer 3

Case 1:

@Html.LableFor(x=>x.IsVpn)
@Html.CheckBoxFor(x=>x.IsVpn) (Suppose)

render like that
<lable for="IsVpn">
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>


But We Need like that For materialize css


<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable for="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>

Case 2:

@Html.CheckBoxFor(x=>x.IsVpn) (Suppose)
@Html.LableFor(x=>x.IsVpn)

Now What happen:

<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">

But our requirement is for materilize css :

<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>

So we can't use @Html.CheckBoxFor materializ css directly

but it we can use output:

<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>

it will work exactly same as checkboxfor.

But If we want razor syntax then we need to customize checkboxfor and need to make a extension..
