Hi everybody,

I want to arrange swich items in my manner. How to do I can't!!

Thank you

Hi Ratah,

The switch widget chooses between vertical and horizontal layout based on its size. If you make it tall and narrow it will be vertical, if you make it short and wide it will became horizontal. Changing the size of the widget at runtime (e.g. when the layout is resized), will recompute the best layout as well.

In case you are looking for way how to manage this manually, or for some more complex layouts like columns, then I'm afraid there is no such thing in Switch. You could of course derive your own widget based on Switch - the only thing you would have to override is the Paint() method. It should be quite easy, have a look at CtrlLib/Switch.cpp, line 152. It is only ~50 lines of code, most of which could be reused.

Best regards,
Honza
