Well, not exactly. You wrote before:

I would say my approach is to lay out ALL my widgets in as many row and
column base widgets as I need to achieve the desired layout in the GUI.
(I normally set YPAD, XPAD, and SPACING to 0 in these layout base
widgets.) Then, I simply resize the TLB according to the new values in
the resize event structure and let everyone inside jostle around by
themselves until they have achieved their new locations.

The only exceptions I think I have ever made is some accommodation for
draw widgets. I sometimes resize these individually in the resize event
handler, in an attempt to keep them some percentage of the total overall
size of the top-level base. But draw widgets are, essentially, the ONLY
widgets I ever explicitly size.

Cheers,

David
