Yes, indeed, while the BBox API is actually logical in a sense, it's not intuitive at all. BBox comes with its own layout class that makes sure the one and only contents view is put so that the border is visible. Therefore, you don't see a custom layout on the box, but rather simply add a view that does the job for you. So it would look something like this (not tested): box->AddChild(BLayoutBuilder::Group<>(B_HORIZONTAL) .Add(...) .View()); Bye, Axel.
