Questions Regarding UIDragable Panel Writeup

[artician]

Hello,
I'm following the writeup for the Scrolling View with the Clipped Panel, (http://www.tasharen.com/?page_id=4444) and I have a very basic question about one of the steps.

In this step:

Once that was done, I added a child to this second panel with a grid component on it

What kind of child did he add to the second panel?  A specific NGUI object, or a regular, empty Unity GameObject with the Grid component added?

(which automatically lays out its children based on the cell size of your choice), and copy/pasted a bunch of children underneath it

This makes it sound like his hierarchy is like this:

Parent Panel
|_Panel 2
   |_Grid Component Child
      |_Children to be sorted in Grid

Is that correct?

Many thanks for the help!

That's how I understand it

Panel
- GameObject with UIGrid
-- Object with UIDragPanelContents and box collider (so they can be dragged)
-- Object with UIDragPanelContents and box collider (so they can be dragged)
-- Object with UIDragPanelContents and box collider (so they can be dragged)
-- ...

UIRoot
-UIPanel
--Static widgets
--UIDraggablePanel (same level)
---UIGrid
----items to be arranged by grid

And yeah, it's just a game object with UIGrid on it.
