They're defined in different classes and may have had some legacy reasons for doing so. The API is cleaned up in 2.0.

Interestingly enough, that worked like a charm--my Form-based component's children are all playing nicely now w/ spacing, layout, etc. So this leads me to ask...what's the purpose of having two different calls to add subcomponents to a component? What's the designed use for createClassObject() vs. addChild()? -E- --- In [email protected], "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Check out layoutChildren and measure() and see if any strangeness is > going on?
