Okay, I think I am starting to understand the problem better now.

When I use the IupFill() padding technique mentioned, my problem
becomes that the vbox tries to expand to fill the whole window.
Currently my window is oversized, so big padded areas are appearing
between each horizontal line (i.e. label+widget) I have. I don't think
this looks particularly nice.

I would like the spacing between the fields to not expand. If I set
the EXPAND attribute on the vbox to HORIZONTAL (or NO), then
everything compacts nicely, but the effect to center the labels with
the fields also breaks and they go back to the original top-aligned
problem.

So my main question is, is there a way to deal with this?

My secondary question is, if I need to pick a fixed size for my window
or maybe surrounding vbox, how do I pick a that fits the layout
without knowing the size apriori? (I noticed there are sizing
differences between platforms which make it hard to use absolute
sizes.)

Thanks,
Eric
