Using the anchor editor is a more lightweight and flexible approach than using nested panels. You only need nested panels for very complex layouts. The only problem is the anchor editor itself obscures the form you're editing more often than not - i'd prefer to see anchor editing to be done inside the form editor (possibly with the help of small context-sensitive popups like those in Visual C#'s form editor) instead of using a big separate window.
(btw in case you haven't used anchor editor, it isn't the same as editing the anchors property in the object inspector - it something way more flexible and configurable that i wish all GUI toolkits had) On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Alexsander Rosa <[email protected]>wrote: > You must design the UI taking multi-platform in account. > Default font is a safe bet; other fonts may be missing in some setup. > Use autosize and nested panels to make sure the widgets don't get cropped. > http://port2laz.blogspot.com.br/2012/02/new-screenshots.html > > > 2013/3/18 Jürgen Hestermann <[email protected]> > >> >> Am 2013-03-15 19:14, schrieb Avishai: >> >> Have you specified a Font.Name and Font.Size?
