I would like to show several windows on a larger parent window at specific positions. But when I specify the parent widget to be a boc widget or viewport widget and create child widgets, the parent widget will position the child widgets on a line, instead of showing them at the specific position I want. Could any please tell mw why? Any help will be appreciated! Yin
