The economy of my country has no issues for the moment, the companies are fine, the economy still grows up, the unemployment rate is pretty small (not for the blind, of course). But the prices on Bucharest Stock Exchange decreased this year with an average of 70 - 80% or more.

Hi Pranav:Good to hear that. Things are a disaster over here. My portfolio is down 25 percent at least and that is after I bought my stocks when they were alreadydown about 20 percent - sigh.

The hotel industry is predicting lost revenues and a major bank is making some noises about exposure to the subprime but other than that, things are still ok so far. It is the festivle season here so local demand should be able to sustain many industries. <grin Pranav On 10/6/08, Ricks Place <OFBGMail@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Pranav: Sorry, typos and I did not delete some junk, getting sloppy inmy old age -grin.And, thanks for the url, that is what I was actually going to ask you forbut then thought I could look it up and not have you spend your time doing my homework.

We are looking at it and I will write up a step by stepblurb and post if I get it working. I just tested out the Table LayoutControl with Windoweyes. I had to just tab to the Table Control and blindly drop a label and textbox on it. They were put in the first row Row 0 column 0 and column 1. The properties for each control tell what row and column it is in. I could not modify the control size properties but am going to see if I can change the row and column settings in the properties window to put one control on top of the other, ie. row 0 column 0, row 1 column 0 instead of the default of row 0 column 0 row 0 column 1. If this works this would be one way of positioning controls with a table andnot relying on the Forms Designer other than as a container to blindlyplop controls onto. I'll post up in a few minuts.

What I would like to do is be able to lign up say 3 label textbox controls so they read properly and look ok by using something like the flow panel control or table layout control or something else. What about the Anchorcontrol property? Can I anchor based on another control somehow?Whatabout docking, sounds interesting? If you have done this cool, if not I will start Googling them to see if anything pops up that might make this process easier.I use Windoweyes so working in the forms designer and with the TableLayout control has not been something I could do since Windoweyes willnot read the table nor cells in the designer so I have no clue whereto drop labels nor textboxes to get them into the cells correctly. I willlook at the properties for a table layout control to see if I can dosomething there but not likely since I can't drop anything into theProperties Windo itself but might be able to put the name of a labelortextbox control in the appropriate cell, if the cells are propertiesofthe bloody table layout control and it lets me do that. Sorry, Allotofoptions but I have not found the slam dunk yet so am just asking howyou guys have done positioning. Absolutely no substitute for experience when it comes to accessibility issues and visual challanges. If I figure anything out I will do a step by step for publishing on your grab bag if you want, might save someone else some headaches someday.
