So again, I would change the default BBox semantic of SetLayout to add a special BBoxLayout that has exactly one child which is the added layout. This layout is placed exactly in the inner BBox frame. Guess in 99% thats what you want.That's almost what I want, but I think playing with SetLayout like that would be wrong. BView::SetLayout() should basically do the same thing as BBox::SetLayout(). It's better, in my opinion, to default to using a BBoxLayout when the view is built with the layout constructors, or with the B_SUPPORTS_LAYOUT flag, and let the user replace it if they want.
qt also gives a solution for this problem :-) They have a setContentsMargins in QWidget and QLayout and they using this setContentsMargins in BGroupBox to place the layout in the content area. So as you proposed earlier a SetInset in BLayout and consequently a SetInset in BView would do the trick :-)
