Which is best for my use: Grid or FlexBox? Simplest way to get some knobs organized on the screen?

Well I’m new so it’s easier - EVERYTHING is new. Plus daniel did all the work. lol.

Next step is to try to get a LabeledGroup class set up so that the LabeledSliders can be set to belong to a given group, and put the FlexBox code into the LabeledGroup code so it auto-arranges them.

The we can have a panel of auto-arranged sliders within auto-arranged groups. ie. Two layers of automatic FlexBoxing.

This would be the ultimate flexible, no hassle configuration for prototyping and even likely final design (with some tweaks).

If you’re keen to give it a shot, I posted the question of how to do this here, as well as the most current working code for the existing approach:

Trying to get a "GroupComponent" around a slider and linked label - What am I doing wrong?

That suggestion to use dynamic memory and the “owned array” worked well daniel. I got it working like that. The stretching thing is less important of an issue anyway. For anyone’s reference, here’s the working code: class LabeledSlider : public GroupComponent { public: LabeledSlider (const String& name) { setText (name); setTextLabelPosition (Justification::centredTop); addAndMakeVisible (slider); } void resized() override { slider.setB…

I don’t understand enough about C++ to know how to execute what I’m trying to, and when I post these questions on general C++ forums they scratch their heads because they don’t know JUCE.

So any help is appreciated. I think you’ll find this structure quite favorable for your own use even as is. It’s very easy to work with.
