- I guess I'll clarify what I was after.
-
- Without having to do major detective work, I would like to know, for example,
-
- if I set PANEL_LABEL_Y for a PANEL_CHOICE to 12, what have I done? What is
- going to be at 12? The top of the tallest character in the PANEL_LABEL? The
- bottom of the descenders? And if I don't specify a PANEL_VALUE_Y, how will
- the choice box/es be positioned? Surely there's some method to this madness.
- But I haven't seen it documented. Anytime I try to align things on a grid, I
- end up having to move my text fields up or down a little and my choices up or
- down by a different amount, etc.
-
- If anyone has figured this out or found it documented, please let me know.
-
- Thanks.
