Description Vas 2025-07-14 11:05:15 UTC
Description:
When designing a dialogue with several controls on it, there are no functions to be able to easily align multiple controls together, such as aligning their respective Left, Right, Middle, Top, Centre and Bottom edges together, like most GUI editors have.

You have to use the X, Y position fields on each control to do this manually. If you try and update several controls together, this does not work either. I will raise this as a separate ticket, as there is a bug with this I believe.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a GUI in the IDE with multiple controls on it
2. No functions to align the controls

Actual Results:
Only XPosition and YPosition fields are available

Expected Results:
Have tooolbar buttons/functions to align multiple controls to the desired edges.


Reproducible: Always

Also to add to this, there are also no functions or toolbar buttons to align  controls or grouped controls relative to the dialogue itself e.g. centering to the dialogue
