Layout text-input-panes

Hello!

Maybe I overlooked it in the CAPI User Guide, but is there a way to layout two or more text-input-panes with titles?
I have two text-input-panes together in a column-layout but the input fields are not aligned because of the titles.

Is there a easy way to align them? And is there maybe a good website or book with more examples how to build GUIs in LispWorks?

regards,
Phil

Hi Phil,

The easiest way IMO is to use a grid-layout instead of a column-layout. Check out the documentation on grid-layout, especially the initargs :columns and :has-title-column-p

Use :title-args. For example:

:title-args '(:external-min-width 72)

There's an example here:

Re: Layout text-input-panes

Thank you both a lot :)

I use the grid-layout with title-panes and input-panes now.

Phil
