In my application all HGroups should be vertically aligned to middle. As this is a property of HorizontalLayout which is exposed via HGroup’s verticalAlign property (not style) I can’t set it in CSS. Also, while Groups are not skinnable I can’t assign a custom skin.
Is creating a subclass like VerticallyAlignedHGroup my only option or is there a better way?
I’ve run across this as well and after some research wound up doing as you mentioned and created my own subclass of HGroup that had verticalAlign set to “middle”. Wish I had a better solution for you, but I’ve been unable to find one.
