Hi Trevor, The snippet below is from a post you sent me about centering a checkbox in a column. The other method you thought might work involving the lockloc property of the column group didn't work.
I found I could do this without defining a "cancas" as you had suggested. I got it working with the following code in the LayoutControl handler: put ((mycolumnwidth - mybuttonwidth) / 2) into myOffset -- mycolumnwidth and mybuttonwidth hold the the width of the column and of the button put item 1 of myColumnRect + myOffset + 5 into item 1 of myButtonRect -- myColumnRect and myButtonRect hold the rectangles of the column and button add myOffset to item 3 of myButtonRect set the rect of button 1 of me to myButtonRect When I first tried this, I did not have the "+5" in the second line of code - the checkbox moved to the right but it still wasn't centered. The "+5" centered things OK. Any ideas why I need that "+5"? Thanks Pete Haworth
