Resizing windows in layout editor

[Neil]

When I resize a window is it possible to stop all the other buttons and things changing size too, so they stay the same? I want to add some more things to my window but when I expand it all the other buttons just enlarge to take up the space.

You need to stop using the scaled-offsets, and start using the fixed-offsets to define the positions/sizes of your elements.

You have actually used the editor before, right?

In the editor, looking at the property pane, you can see that each side (top, left, right, bottom) of a window has two offsets: [side] scale and [side] offset. If you use the scaled parameters, then as insuinuated by the name when you resize the parent the child will "scale" along with it; if you use the fixed-offset parameters it will keep the same offset regardless of sizing changes to the parent window.

Yay it works now thank you.
