nathank Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I have been trying to create multiple columns of items with a fixed height, but variable width (so they expand evenly to fill the width of the window). I've tried putting them in gridbox, and in rows of hboxes all contained within a vbox (and a few other variations), but in every case the items expand to fill both height and width. Any suggestions how I should structure the ui to get the pattern I'm after?

Have a look at the UI files in the editor for an example of doing this.
nathank Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Awesome, that's working perfectly. I guess the inner vbox just cancels out the expand on the outer one. Thanx Danni.
