How to change control types

One focused task, a quick video, and concise steps you can scan immediately.

You can convert a control without deleting it and rebuilding the layout.

Switch the control type

  1. Open the page in Layout & Controls.
  2. Select the control you want to convert.
  3. In the control properties, select Switch Control.
  4. Choose the replacement type, such as changing a Slider to a Textbox.

SpreadsheetWeb keeps the control in the same layout position and retains compatible settings. Review the named-range binding, label, default value, validation, and events after the conversion because options that exist only on the original control type may no longer apply. Preview the page before publishing.
