I have this code taken from guru meditation net.

I would like that the last two objects (simplebutton and stringframe) being on the same row. i read about the HGroup but i was no able to obtain anything. how can i modify it? Thank you

Child, HGroup,
Child, TextObject, ButtonFrame,
MUIA_Background, MUII_TextBack,
MUIA_Text_Contents, "\33c Et ici un TextObject avec une frame
d'aspect \33iButtonFrame\33n\nce qui lui donne son aspect de bouton",
End,

Child, TextObject, StringFrame,
MUIA_Background, MUII_TextBack,

End,

Child, SimpleButton("Bouton sans action"),

End,
End,
End,
End;

Don't forget the extra "End,".

Intention is way important when writing such long MUI-macros or you'll soon loose track into which group which objects falls.

@Kronos: "intention" ?

@rebraist: so yes, encapsulate two last children by this:

Child, HGroup,

(...)

End,

Important for MUI dev: The 'End' is not needed because there is a 'Child', but because there is a 'HGroup'.
As we can see, there is a 'Child' before SimpleButton without the need of a 'End'. Because SimpleButton is a closed macro, HGroup not

Thank you!
Let's see if i've understood:
i have to close with an end every "object" described by tag list.
1) app
2) window
3) groups
4) gadgets

Some macros don't need end because they "close" in them the tags needed.

That's why I never use these messy macros...

:)
Where can i find the list of all available "gadget" usbale with mui?
I looked the autodocs but it only talks about the attributes of those objects (MUIA)
Surely i don't know how to use properly an autodoc but i don't find both objects or methods.

The SDK comes with AGuide formatted MUI classes docs, listing all included .mui and .mcc classes.

SDK:Guide/Magic_User_Interface has all the info you need. There's also the inheritance structure described in mui.h for its built in classes.

thank you! i'm so excited because today have obtained a vgroup nested in a hgroup. I know it's a simple thing but for me it's a great goal!!
