Anchoring group of widgets in new layout system

[chufraise]

Hi,
I'm struggling to understand the new layout system. I've looked at all the videos but the solution to my problem is not represented there. Basically I'm trying to group a bunch of widgets and anchor them in the top left of the screen.

I put five buttons as children to a Panel. I set the the Panel to "Constrain But Don't Clip" just to enable the Anchors-section. Then I chose Unified as anchors type. To anchor the Panel I set the target to UIRoot and the values to

1. Left = Target's left
2. Right = Target's left
3. Bottom = Target's top
4. Top = Target's top
5.  

Now, I thought that should be sufficient. But when I change the aspect ratio the panel the panel get's anchored right, but buttons doesn't go along with the parented panel. They're not anchored for some reason.

I can enable the Anchors on every individual widget but that's a bit of a hazzle, and I don't think that's the intended practice.

In the old layout system I just added an anchor-script and set the alignment on the widget container and that was that.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Panel can't have anchoring defined unless the panel has a clipping rect. In the latest version of NGUI, the anchor option is flat out disabled on panels that don't have clipping turned on.

Use a widget container instead. ALT+SHIFT+W, position the widget where you need it to be, anchor it. All your buttons will be children of this widget, and don't need to be anchored.
