Chris, Glade is a little different to use...
You need to use the 'vertical box', 'Horizontal box' and 'table' to layout your GUI, each table/boxes cell can be ONE widget, or another group of tables. Effectively you layout a grid of cells where you want your widgets to be, then drop in the widgets. Alternatively you can place a 'Fixed Postions' box and drop widgets onto it where you want. I was originally looking at doing this... and had started some projects... but then I found the FLTK Library, which is really easy to use, and is cross platform. see www.fltk.org Alternatively, if you can wait till about the 14th of next month, Kylix 3 (The C/C++ version as well as Delphi (Pascal) ) should finally be avaliable for download (I will be downloading and evaluating it) Mike.
