Hi,

There is no provision in WD for getting screen coordinates and then placing the UI element.

You to add the UI element to layout editor and based on the layout type it will add the UI element to respective position.

I would advice not to create dynamic UI elements( instead you can create them statically and then play with visibility status through context binding ). This will be more effective way and less error prone. This is also recommended practice.

still,For dynamic creation you can refer to following wiki:

Hi,

You can use MATRIX layout for that purpose. Get the label first as MATRIX HEADDATA and the input field as MATRIX data. Refer to this link of my article for more details-

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Please try to set the layout of the view by using the properties.

Further you can also try to create the text view as matrixdata or matrix head data DYNAMICALLY, so that it will appear in front of your input field.

Hi Priyank.

There is no way of getting the Co-Ordinates of UI Element in the view..As Ur Requirement can be solved by setting the LAY OUT of the view..
