 FLEXBOX IN WINDEV: 261
New feature WD WB WM

USE FLEXBOX IN AN ENTIRE WINDOW

EXAMPLES
Using Flexbox to distribute elements in an entire window can solve
positioning conflicts that may occur when a window is resized.
Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 :
Automatic layout

AN ADDITIONAL ADAPTIVE LAYOUT METHOD

AVAILABLE IN WINDEV

258
New feature WD WB WM

FLEXBOX OVERVIEW
Flexbox is an adaptive layout method that allows controls to be
positioned relative to each other.
Although it is mostly used in web applications, this mode is also
used on Windows and mobile devices, for controls with dynamic
content (e.g., long text spanning over several lines or translation
into several languages), or when a window is resized.
Controls are laid out in rows or columns, according to precise rules
which are cumulative.
Positioning is relative rather than pixel-based.
Flexbox can be used on the entire window, or only on a group of
controls.
A well-known example is the layout of controls in the Windows 11
settings window.
Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 :
New layout mode

Flexbox rules

259
New feature WD WB WM

AVAILABLE RULES
260 New feature WD WB WM

SPECIFIC USE CASES

In this example, 4 Flexbox controls are used
to find the best possible layout

A Flexbox control acts as a container. Translating text into different languages almost always results in
strings with different lengths. The size of buttons changes, and the
Items (individual controls) are positioned one after another, within

A Flexbox control is the ideal solution to make sure that the but-

when text is translated and/or when the window is resized.
First, indicate how controls should be laid out within each box: in
rows or columns.
Then, indicate how the controls should react when the box or the
other controls are resized: line wrap, grow, shrink, etc.
Apply this method to as many controls as necessary to define their
positioning and resizing behavior.
A scrollbar will automatically appear where necessary.
All these rules can easily be defined in the 7-tab window, which
includes all layout possibilities.
Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 :

Buttons remain aligned
Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 :
