Hi, getting myself in a mess trying to work with designer scripts
Basically, I have a Pane that's set to the width of the screen with left and right set to 10 in properties, and the height is set to 70,

What I am trying to do is put 9 labels in the panel that are 100% in height and spread evenly across the panel, I've tried a few this to set the width of each label to 11.11% of the panel but getting nowhere fast, to be honest, I'm not sure of the syntax even though I've tried various examples in B4A, is it different in B4J

Hi.

Maybe you can adapt this example?

[B4X] [Visual Designer] Spreading Controls

Question: How can I build a layout with X controls spread horizontally or vertically? Answer: You can use the designer script for this. As the designer script engine (currently) doesn't support loops it requires copying a few lines, however it is quite simple. The code goes like this: n = 4...

Thanks, whilst it does go some way to solving my problem it doesn't spread the 9 labels evenly across the panel that is 100% of the width of the screen, so I'm back to playing with set width but given I now have nine labels across the panel the width of each label needs to be set to 11.11% and place according in the panel. If it's possible

If you want something like this, a small modification of @Erel 's example will do it.



B4X: 
'All variants script
n = 9: MaxSize = 50dip : MinGap = 5 'change here (n = number of views)
AllWidth = 100%x
w = Min((AllWidth + 22dip)/ n, MaxSize)
gap = (AllWidth - n * w) / n

'Only change the views names and 'i' value:
i = 0 : Label1.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 1 : Label2.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 2 : Label3.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 3 : Label4.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 4 : Label5.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 5 : Label6.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 6 : Label7.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 7 : Label8.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w,i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
i = 8 : Label9.SetLeftAndRight(i * gap + i * w, i * gap + (i + 1) * w)
Pane1.SetLeftAndRight(Pane1.Left, 10 + Label9.Right)
Pane1.SetLeftAndRight(50%x - Pane1.Width / 2, 50%x + Pane1.Width / 2)
