Dynamic position/size change and built-in layouts

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

What I'm saying isn't exactly that.

What I'm saying is, for instance, if I change the height of the first child
of the VBox than the other children below would re-position themselves.

-VBox-
- -------
- - c1 -
- -     -
- -     -
- -------
-
- -------
- - c2 -
- -------
-
- -------
- - c3 -
- -     -
- -------

First child (c1) gets smaller. Result - c2 and c3 move up automatically
(and the height of the VBox would also get smaller automatically):

-VBox-
- -------
- - c1 -
- -------
-
- -------
- - c2 -
- -------
-
- -------
- - c3 -
- -     -
- -------


Thanks,
