Hi all!
I'm trying to get something like that :
child _____________ child
[]-----| container |---[]
| | other
other | |---[]
[]-----|_____________|
I can easily get:
_____________
| container |
|child |
| [] child |
|________[]___|
I thought about using a biggest and invisible container rectangle but I
can't manage to sort out the layouts in order to get something good.
Have you got any advice in order to do that, or may be a sample project or
documentation to point me to ?
thanks
