you must add more containers to achieve what you want to do : HBox |__ VBox(expanded) | |__ hBox | | |__ Label | | |__ SpecialTexBox(expanded) | |__ Panel(expanded) |__ Picture this is how gambas containers works > > I don't know why my intentions work when inheriting UserContainer and > not when inheriting UserControl.
