does anyone have a spec or some advice etc. on aligning controls. i know there is a <i>align top/centre/bottom</i> etc. option but the problem is this...<br><br>if a <FONT FACE=monospace>label</font> and a <FONT FACE=monospace>textbox</font> are to be placed side by side then the <FONT FACE=monospace>.top</font> of the <FONT FACE=monospace>label</font> needs to be 40units more than the <FONT FACE=monospace>textbox</font><br><br>this is true if the <FONT FACE=monospace>textbox</font> is 3D with fixed border. <b>BUT IF</b> the <FONT FACE=monospace>textbox</font> is not 3D then the <FONT FACE=monospace>label.top</font> property has to be 30units more than the <FONT FACE=monospace>textbox</font> for them to align perfectly.<br><br>the menu align does not align these controls (or others) perfectly so i guess i have to draft a document/table stating when certain controls are used together the <FONT FACE=monospace>.top</font> property of controlX must be y units more than controlY.<br><br>any comments or advice would be splendid<br>cheers<br>m <p> Mark Saunders
