App Designer - how to vertically align butons/listboxes in panel that resizing does not move boxes to center

Good day. I have recently moved from using GUIDE to App Designer, and am struggling with resizing issues. I have a left panel where I have a handfull of buttons and listboxes that I dont want to resize when going fullscreen. The rest of the app (a UIAxis on the right) works correctly when resizing.

The problem is that I can get the buttons to stay the same size, however they move to the center vertically. I read that it might work to add.DropDown.VerticalAlignment = 'top', but the createComponents (app) function does not allow me to edit the app. I have tried to add app.DropDown.VerticalAlignment to the DropDownOpening function but that is not an available function. Any suggestions?

This is how it looks on my laptop, R2020b, how do you want it to look?

There's no such property VerticalAlignment.

Hi Mario, before I resize mine looks like what you have. But as soon as I resize to fullscreen mine looks like this with the buttons in the center

You can use grid layout in that Panel, place components within it and hopefully it should be fine.

Thanks so much. I have never used the grid layout and it works great!

Great to hear, you're welcome. I'll move my comment to the answer section so you can accept it.

Grid layout retains the correct component position.
