Right align button

[joekarl]

I've been playing around with smartgwt for a while and one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to right align a button. (Have a button be a certain distance from the right edge of its parent even when the parent gets resized). I've tried button.setRight(int); but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

On way to do this would be setSnapTo("R") (or "TR" or "BR" for top or bottom alignment), with a negative left coordinate if desired (applies relative to the snapTo location).

Another is to use a layout and set the alignment on the Layout, with possibly a LayoutSpacer before the button to be aligned.

Best approach depends on the details of what other components are involved.

Fixed it

Figured it out.

If I wrap the button in a HLayout and set it to align right, then the button will be right aligned.

HLayout buttonArea = new HLayout();
buttonArea.setAlign(Alignment.RIGHT);

IButton loginButton = new IButton("Login");
buttonArea.addMember(loginButton);
