My needs: A) I need to have a row of pushbuttons(5) along the bottom of my window. B) Above this, there will be some set of widgets, unknown at compile time. C) It is manditory that all the pushbuttons are always visible. D) It is manditory that the entire set of widgets is always visible. E) It would be nice if the pushbuttons spread out when the set of widgets is wider. My situation: Currently I have a Form, containing another Form (which will hold all those unknown widgets), and a Frame (containing a Rowcolumn with my pushbuttons). If I attach the right of the Frame to the (outer) Form, this fails when the set of widgets is of a smaller width (violates C). If I attach the right of the Frame to the opposite side of the (inner) Form, this fails when the set of widgets is of a smaller width (violates C). If I don't attach the right of the Frame at all, it violates E when the set of widgets are of a larger width. My question: Can my needs be met without writing my own composite widget?
