Designer issue

[bishmedia]

Ive got a template that im building in designer as per attached image and have added some designer script as below...

'All variants script
AutoScaleAll

pnlLower.Bottom = 100%y
pnlLower.SetTopAndBottom(WebView1.Bottom, 100%y)
pnlLower.Width = 100%x

WebView1.Width = 100%x
WebView1.SetTopAndBottom(0%x, pnlLower.Top)

'buttons
b = 33%x
pad = 4dip
btnDown1.SetLeftAndRight(0, b)
btnDown1.SetTopAndBottom(pad, pnlLower.Height - pad)
btnDown2.SetLeftAndRight(b, 2 * b)
btnDown2.SetTopAndBottom(pad, pnlLower.Height - pad)
btnDown3.SetLeftAndRight(2 * b, 3 * b)
btnDown3.SetTopAndBottom(pad, pnlLower.Height - pad)

When i change to a larger viewer like Nexus 7 the webviews and buttons both accommodate half the screen each.

Can anyone tell me what wrong with the above script??

Find my thoughts on the problem below. Hope this helps.

pnlLower.Bottom = 100%y 'Not required as you set the bottom in next line.
pnlLower.SetTopAndBottom(WebView1.Bottom, 100%y) 'I believe this is the problem line as it uses webview1.bottom which hasn't been set in the script, just the designer. You need to refine the webview1.bottom property.
pnlLower.Width = 100%x

WebView1.Width = 100%x
WebView1.SetTopAndBottom(0%x, pnlLower.Top)'2 things wrong here but neither cause your issue. 1) you use x axis to set a y plane 2) you dont need to 0%, just put 0

I cannot figure for the life of me how to set the webview1.bottom :-(

pnlLower.SetTopAndBottom(WebView1.Bottom, 100%y)
pnlLower.Width = 100%x

WebView1.Width = 100%x
WebView1.SetTopAndBottom(0, pnlLower.Top)

I guess in this instance you don't set it directly, you set the top and the height.

I need to decide which of the 2 sections is set first. If the button at the bottom are a fixed size then set them and then set the webviews properties from there.

A little hard to describe

I think that the webview1 should always be 80% height and pnlLower should always be 20% height ??
Does this help??

Can you upload your layout file?

Well if that is the case, then change this line

WebView1.SetTopAndBottom(0, pnlLower.Top)

to

WebView1.SetTopAndBottom(0, 80%y)

and move it to above this line

pnlLower.SetTopAndBottom(WebView1.Bottom, 100%y)
