Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
What works for me is a wrapped around all widgets in a Vertical or Horizontal panel. It's pretty verbose though. When I have time I need to learn how to do this with CSS since it seems like tables are so last decade!

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Hi, your example does not work for me. This means AFAIK that the content of the VerticalPanel are aligned within the VerticalPanel, but not the VerticalPanel itself. Also it does not align vertically... Magnus On 11 Jun., 09:40, Tristan Slominski wrote: > I don't understand how UiBinder cannot be used to do what you describe.

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
I don't understand how UiBinder cannot be used to do what you describe. You may have to create multiple views (for example "fileMenuView") that you attach when the user clicks on "File" in the menu. But that "fileMenuView" could be fully described in UiBinder. how it is attached probably won't be done in UiBinder but it's just one dynamic part of it... I haven't looked into the menu widget too much, but that itself can probably do some of that declaratively centering a form is as easy as centering some panels ... etc.. I use UiBinder and I have centered forms, popups, menus, etc it's possible.. but remember it's a tool.. you may not be able to declare where the menu should be attached, but you can declare the menu itself in the uibinder. use what works best for each purpose.

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
I would like a menubar, and whenever a menu item is selected, I would like to show a panel. The screen should have a north, west, east and south section, and in the center the current panel should be shown. For example, if the user selects "create account", a form should be shown to enter the data for a new account. And I would like the form to be centered within the middle space...

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
What do you mean by "dynamically generated"? Are you setting styles and widths programmatically? What's the use case?

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Hi fmod, I am thinking about your advice using UIbinder, but I think I cannot use it, because my layout is dynamically generated. I think that the declarative way using UIbinder is for fixed panels like forms, isn't it?

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Sorry, I did not realize the fmod's posting at the time of mine. However, today I found that things are even worse: The result looks totally different on different browsers (see thread: "1 layout - 3 browsers - 3 results? ") If this is true (and I didn't make another mistake) then GWT is not suitable for doing predictable layouts in my opinion...

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Short of designing the layout for you it's hard to give "hints". fmod's hint is a good one though, because you'll run into that quickly doing the layout you want. Here's a starting point, in particular, take a look at the source code that goes with the various widget to build an intuition around how things work and then check out the UiBinder tutorial to get on board with the latest best practice of doing it. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/examples/ http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiBinder.html On Jun 7, 4:31 am, Magnus wrote: > Hello, > > is there really no advice for me?

Re: layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Hello, is there really no advice for me? Or is something wrong with my question? Sorry, but this is the only group for GWT I know and I really would like to get started with it. But if the result looks awful, it doesn't make fun. I started thinking about a workaround with fixed pixel sizes, but I thought, the promise of GWT is to get away from such workarounds... Please consider giving me just a small hint. I would be thankful for each one...

layout problems with positioning or aligning content
Hi, here is the raw layout for my app, a chess application: My goal: A menubar at the top and a defined "client region" that contains the "actual main panel", a form or a chess bord... The outer panel is a DockLayoutPanel. The green border marks its center region. The next level is a VerticalPanel, which contains a MenuBar and a LayoutPanel for the center. The red border marks the LayoutPanel. Within the LayoutPanel I want to place another LayoutPanel, which is marked by the gray border. The inner LayoutPanel should show a chess bord, which is realized as a Grid and marked by the green border. The chess board should be centered within its containing LayoutPanel, but it's - left justified, and - vertically streched How can I do it that it is - sized to the necessary size (i. e. not streched) - centered? Well, I am not sure what to do with GWT/panels and what to do with CSS. Could you please point me into the right direction? Maybe I should do it totally different.
