Two label layout in a Rectangle [message #148101]

Tue, 28 August 2007 10:20

Hello,

I'm attemping to lay out two labels in a Rectangle like so:

______________
I I
I Label1 I
I Label2 I
I____________ I

so that they stay centred.

I can do it easily for a single label using a Stack Layout
but for two or more, they simply lay over each other.
Flow Layout doesn't seem to help either as it lays them to
the Left hand side, even when setting Major and Minor
Alignment to CENTER.

I've also tried using two contained rectangles, but no luck.

Can anyone advise on this before I go mad?!

Thanks,

Andy

Try using a GridLayout( 1 column) for the parent Rectangle and
GridlayoutData for each label...

I've tried that now - see attached gmfgraph and result,
but the result is left hand placement of the labels.

Have I got the structure right?

Any other suggestions welcome!

Hello ase,

For each of the grid layout data set
Grab excess horizontal space : true
Horizontal alignement : CENTER
it should work...

Hi Giles,

That does seem to work. Although now I get the labels centred but
towards the top of the rectangle. I've tried setting grab excess vertical
space: true but no effect. Any thoughts?
