Hi All,
I want to create a fill in form in Windows: city,
state, etc., you fill in the data.
Is there some library out there for that?
Any words of wisdom?
Many thanks,

Hi Todd,
normally I'd expect you want to create a grid with labels on the left
and text inputs on the right.
the examples/ folder in the GTK::Simple distribution (or the source on
github) has an example of the Grid class, which is very powerful.
The grid is possibly more complicated than you need it to be; instead
you can probably have one VBox that contains one HBox for every label +
input field.
One benefit that the Grid will give you is that you can much more easily
line up all the fill-in text inputs, whereas with a VBox of HBoxes it
may just make every text input as wide as possible so it (almost)
touches the end of the label, so different words ("city" vs "first
name") could result in different-sized text inputs.
hope that helps

Hi Timo,
You mean this one?
https://github.com/raku-community-modules/gtk-simple/blob/master/examples/03-grid.pl6
https://ibb.co/hgKHgW4
I do not see the utility of what I am after.

Yes!
So... I believe Timo gave you that as an example how to use a grid to
position the various controls (buttons, text labels, input fields).
You start there, you figure out what text labels, what input fields,
what buttons you need, and then you use the 03-grid.p6 example as a base
on how to do this with Raku and GTK+.
G'luck,
Peter
You would not happen to have a guide for the complete idiot?
Maybe an example too?
03-grid.p6 does not show how to extract the information.
Can I do all this with glade?
https://glade.gnome.org/
It has a nice tutorial.
