Thank you for the response.
I managed to get it centered using the technique you described for simple cases.

Unfortunately, I seem to have some convoluted cases where I was
nesting multiple layers of vboxes and hboxes (and incidentally,
already using IupFill in similar ways) to keep some components
centered in the window for window resizing, and when I try this trick,
it seems to cause weird problems where my horizontal fields seem to
grow to a large percentage of the window and the label dips way down
while other fields remain. (Basically, its really broken.)

I'm not sure if it is the nesting or the use of IupNormalizer or the
combination or something else. (I've already created quite a mess
trying to force all these different layout details...probably too
advanced for just starting out.)


Thanks,
Eric
