Hi,
I have some questions with regards to the use of flowLayout. I have a Label
object that has a border, and within that Label object, I nest another image
Label object. I am trying to get the image Label to appear on the Bottom
right corner of the parent, but after trying a few layouts, such as
ToolbarLayout, flowLayout, I still cannot get it to appear on the bottom
right. As shown in the attached image, I manage to get it to appear on the
top right using the FlowLayout. If I use the XYLayout, somehow the parent
Label gets confused and the text appears left justified.
My question is, is there a way to do it using some layout?
Also, notice that the text in the parent label is not being clipped, is
there an easy way to detect that there are child IFigures and clip the text
accordingly?
thanks,
Dicky

You should not nest one label inside another. Create a plain figure, and
put two labels in it.

Thanks for the response. I actually thought that since Label is a figure,
that nesting is actually encouraged...

It is "encouraged" but you can't expect a layout manager to recognize that
there is some area of importance on the container, and that it should
position its children around that.
