Application Studio - get text boxes to sit side by side horizontally

How do you make two text boxes sit side by side horizontally?
I can add the text boxes but they only want to sit vertically

Thank
Steve

Check the advanced properties of the “container” that the text boxes sit within - there is usually a property that can be set to Horizontal or Vertical. Certainly exists for the cells of a 1 or 2 column.

You can also use the matrix component to align controls. Like:

configurable cols & rows and each cell is a multi-component container.

I mean I believe you, but what’s the widget called in the toolbox?

Like Container and Group Box come across as metafx-box and metafx-flex-box or something utterly unrelated to the toolbox names.

I assume it’s new to 2025, though.

Yep, don’t have that.

Another option is to click ‘edit box layout’ and get the various panels to snap to grids (instead of free-form columns). I haven’t tried this for fields within panel cards, though.

Thanks for posting this. Saw it in the what’s new video months ago and then couldn’t remember what it’s called so couldn’t find it the other day. Needless to say, bingling ‘grid layout’ didn’t help.
