Hello All
I have used BCB6 for a while now and am used to being able to design my forms on screen. I came across Upp by chance and have read lots that has been written. So much looks so intriguing that I cannot resist trying it out. But - you can guess this - I am a little stumped over Layout.

I drop an ArrayCtrl on to a form and I immediately want to set the number of rows and columns. You can tell me 'that is not the way' and I will believe you! So, what is The Way? I really do want to play with this but I feel I am going to fall at the first hurdle.

Hi Brian,

the number of columns of the ArrayCtrl need to be set in the constructor of the class you have prepared with the designer (or at runtime). Start with the tutorial that Aris has indicated, then post here your code experiment and I'll show you how to perform this task.

Ah, you mean tudes.rar, don't you? When I tried to decompress it I got a CRC error so I couldn't try it out. I am hoping someone could send me an unzippable copy. Any chance?

Oh, how thoughtless of me to ask for a copy when posting a URL is so obviously better. Please forgive my selfishness and put it down to over-excitement.

Luigi, it looks great but now is way past my bedtime and I will play with it tomorrow evening. Thank you for your so prompt replies, I like this place more already.

OK, I have gone through the tutorial and it is so much clearer now. I guess the Layout is just that - a place to lay out the form and its widgets. The contents belongs in the Constructor. The examples and demos make more sense and I can see a way forward. However, I suspect I will be back with more questions!

Do not worry, I am here to answer your question... at least the easiest, Smile . For the difficult one we ask help together to other very clever U++ guru that populate this forum.
Do not forget to post the code to make effective and fast the answer.
