Any good example stack or code for this...

I've got a place where a user needs to enter a word into a field, and it should create a group of the text entered and two buttons beside it, below previous groups. This collection of groups will have a scroll bar because it will get sort of long (I am aware of the limit when doing this).

I figured out how to do the group collection with scroll bar, and I'm pretty sure what I need to is make a hidden group of field and two buttons, and copy that to the grouped collection. Not sure how to get it be right below the last existing group though.

In looking at the docs it seems it would be something like moving it relative to the bottom of the last group. Is this correct, anyone have some example code?

Hmm not one reply. Would have thought this was a popular thing to do. Anyway I think I found my answer

set topleft of... to bottomleft of....


just wondering now how to add a little space between the two

Yes that is looking like exactly what I want to do. Thanks for the assistance.
