Hi, 

How do I move the objects below in the container.

 

I want to move the "Home Screen" button to the far left and leave the "Task Submit Screen" in the middle.

    @KT61 

     

    You are using a Horizontal container. This will automatically align newly added controls right next to the last inputted control.

     

    This is a Horizontal container:

    A normal container looks like this:

    Using a normal container you are able to drag controls to where ever you like

    Purple and grey boxes label and buttons are in the container, I can't drag any of them, and difficult to layout

    You should be able to move items where ever you want in a normal container. Just select the control and drag it to where you want it to be, or you can use formulas on the X and Y properties to set the control.

    Hi @KT61 

     

    Is this just a normal container?

     

    If so, you can move items in the container wherever you want.
