Labels added to grid not repositioning

[DuaneDog]

Greetings,

I'm using the following code:

1.  foreach (string CurrentValue in ShowList)
2.         {
3.             UILabel AddLabel = (UILabel)Instantiate(_uiLabel, transform.position, transform.rotation);
4.             AddLabel.text = CurrentValue;
5.             GameObject ItemAdded = NGUITools.AddChild(_uiGrid.gameObject, AddLabel);
6.            
7.         }
8.         _uiGrid.Reposition();

The labels get added to the screen and are populated with the right text... but they are all bunched up. Should not the grid control getting called with reposition override the transforms on the label? I know I'm missing something simple... I think!

Thanks in advance,

DuaneDog

Try this.

NGUITools.AddChild() automatically instantiates!

1.  foreach (string CurrentValue in ShowList)
2.         {
3.             UILabel AddLabel = NGUITools.AddChild(_uiGrid.gameObject, _uiLabel.gameObject).GetComponent<UILabel>();
4.             AddLabel.text = CurrentValue;
5.         }
6.         _uiGrid.Reposition();
7.

Many thanks that got them in the grid... My next problem is still related to repositioning. All my labels are center aligned in the scrollview. How can I get them to align left? I've tried messing with anchors and other options and I can't find a simple "align left" or way to easily make it work with the grid control. Am I going to be better off hand positioning and ditching the grid control altogether?

Update... I was able to get my labels left aligned with a pivot.

Labels have the "Alignment" field you can set. No need to change the pivot.
