[Gambas-user] Dynamic Controls / Grid?

> Do you really mean (3) objects for each search result?

Yes, I need 3 objects for each result.  My problem is not with creating the
objects, it's being able to view them.

I would like an easy way to make the objects visible.  Currently I can only
see the first checkbox that's created.  The others then pile up on top of
the first one.  I can dabble with their top, bottom, left right properties,
but that sounds like more work than what's needed.

I found a demo in the "Beginner's Guide to Gambas" where it shows how the
VPanel, HPanel, HBox and VBox will **automatically** arrange their child
controls when the application starts.  The beginner's guide is here: 
http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/Uelsk8s/gambas-beginner-guide.pdf

Is there some method that I can call, like VPanel.Arrange()  that would do
the same thing?  I've tried several of the methods already, and can't get
them to reveal the other checkboxes.

Thanks,

--Nate
