So, you are only recommending a grid bag sizer for situations where you need to align a label with one or more controls in the same row?

That's the primary use I've found for them. Most other things seem clearer to lay out using the one-dimensional sizers.

Does this mean that only very simple grid sizers are really needed: single rows with a small number of columns.

For everything else you just compose a design from combinations of box sizers and single row grid sizers.

Single-row grid sizers? I guess I don't see the point of something like that.

But yeah, except for situations where things are in an obvious grid pattern, I think that the box sizers are the way to go.

I was thinking that a single grid sizer could be used for just about any application by suitable adjustment of spanning, expand and proportion properties. It might be hairy but at least there would only be one sizer to manage. I guess not.

I suppose you could work that way, but I would get as confused as hell with anything that worked like that!
