FlexBox?

[asker]

Hello,

Flex Grid I understand some but I'm confused about FlexBox. There is no FlexBox listed in the Toolbox.

There is a Flex Container listed under flex.There is a Layout Grid. Are they the same thing? It's confusing in the tutorials.

Thank you.

A flex container is a container for flexbox elements.
The concept is explained here:

Where is the FlexBox? It doesn't show in the Toolbox. I must be missing something. I've been through that tutorial already.

Maybe you have enabled 'Easy Mode'?
In "Easy Mode", advanced features will be hidden.

I'm sorry Pablo! I've got a blind spot here.

Is a FlexBox something that goes inside some other container like the Flex Grid? I'm trying different ways. I have a Flex Grid set up and a Flex Container.

The Flex Grid has an Easy Mode, which is off. The Flex Container does not have the option.

I've made a couple image captures of what I'm talking about but there is now way to upload them that I can find.

One is of the image in the FlexBox tutorial showing the Toolbox. The other is one of what's on my Toolbox.

The Toolbox in the Tutorial shows a listing of "FlexBox Container" On my Toolbox there is no such listing. The closest is "Flex Container".

Assuming that they are the same thing...

[*] Do FlexBox containers go inside the Flex Grid and/or Layout Grid. Are Flex Box Containers and the Flex Grid two parts that work together?

I think there may be some confusion here. There are 3 layout containers related to flexbox:

1. Flexbox Container (flex container) - Objects placed inside adhere to the flexbox CSS functionality. You will need to know how flexbox works to make this work efficiently.
2. Flex Grid - This container lets you create more complex grid designs using flexbox
3. Layout Grid (grid system set to flexbox) - This is simple grid with some added flexbox functionality.

Your layout is going to dictate which container you will want to use. You can click on the help file for each in the object properties to get more info on each with links to more tutorials.

I think that probably answers it. I was thinking that they were stand-alone tools.

Thanks for your patience.
