Before I look at the rest of the code more closely, you are mixing old 
style and layout style when you create a GroupView() with the rect 
parameter. Instead, you should be using a *B*GroupView, which was made for 
exacly that purpose:

BGroupView *view = new BGroupView(B_VERTICAL, 5);
 
BGroupLayout* viewLayout = view->GroupLayout();
viewLayout->SetInsets(5, 5, 5, 5);
viewLayout->AddItem(BSpaceLayoutItem::CreateVerticalStrut(5)); 

... looking closer at the rest of the code you posted now.

Best regards,
