Rich,

I don't get your point, sorry. I have never used XYLayout but 
as I understand it it is like a null layout. 
You *can* do what Sam wants with a null layout, but you have 
to position all your controls yourself whenever the container
size changes. Sam wanted to do just that, no?
Or what am I missing?

Thanks,
Torsten
