(Check
out the second example in the Object Model reference for the View object -
it shows an example of Javier's suggestion to use a view)

Conversation: PPG Group Width Percentage at Absolute
Value
Subject: Re: PPG Group Width Percentage at Absolute
Value
Within the layout you have siUICX to set
absolute sizes, it doesnt work for everythig but yes for some
things
forinstance on a button witin your
layoug
var butt =
oLayout.AddButton("asdfa")
butt.SetAttribute (siUICX, 200)
butt.SetAttribute
(siUICY, 200)
If you want to pop a ppg of a given size you can do it
creating a view and putting the ppg within the view, and then the view can
have absolute size and placement. It is a bit of apain to do but if you really
need it, you can.

Group Width Percentage at Absolute Value
For your first question, I'm
not sure but have you checked the
AddGroup entry in the
doc?
For the second question, yes, but I believe it would be
better to
build the entire layout at once.
I like building highly
dynamic ppgs, with callbacks that can change
the content, like
removing/adding parameters and layout items. To
handle that, I usually
put everything inside a big function, and all
callbacks simply call this
function with the appropriate arguments.
Works very well. There is such a
plugin lying around XSI Base, made by
Chinny, that uses this technique
(wich I got from).
Cheers
Bernard
