Specialized layout management plugin control for Xojo
The FlowLayout plugin helps you create a user interface design where horizontal layout of the controls is sensitive for localization as well as platform differences.
Example where you design your user interface like this:
When we localize this to for example Icelandic then normally the result would be something like this:
Notice how there was not enough space for the translation of Zip.
When using the flow layout the user interface would adjust to look like this:
Another example:
When localized this design would normally go like this:
But if using the flow layout the user interface adjusts like this:
In same way the FlowLayout can help you ease the pain of platform differences when dealing with user interface that is sensitive to horizontal space. For example the space the text would have taken on Linux systems almost certainly would not be the same, but the FlowLayout handles that.
