[Gambas-user] IDE change requests

[Robert Rowe]

I understand now. You want to anchor a control to an edge so that the 
distance from the edge of the control to the edge of the container 
remains constant. This makes resizing a snap. I use it in .Net all the 
time. I think that this would require changes to the individual controls 
though. Maybe Benoit or one of the other component writers could add 
this. It's a bit beyond me at this point.
