Hi Tony,

That looks like the sort of thing I am after, thanks! Am frustrated to 
say that I can't even work out how to set the layouts to be "vertical". 
I can see things like "Vertical Policy" in the "size Policy" setting. 
Problem with setting that is there is no way to stretch anything to 
place the nine rows of five buttons!

I'm obviously missing something and don't understand what setting area 
layouts be vertical means.

Thanks again,

Rob
