add padding to button

I have a series of buttons, top to bottom. I want to put a little more space between a few of those. Like... btn001 btn002 btn003 btn004 btn005 btn006 btnNNN What do I use for padding? I was thinking an invisible button, but that's an ugly cludge.

R E B O L [] do %r3-gui.r3 ;1st example view [ -vpanel [ --btn001: button "btn001" --btn002: button "btn002" --btn003: button "btn003" --btn004: button "btn004" --btn005: button "btn005" --btn006: button "btn006" --btnNNN: button "btnNNN" -] 320x240 options [row-min: [20 40 20 20 40 20]] ] ;2st example view [ -vgroup [ --vgroup [ ---btn001: button "btn001" ---btn002: button "btn002" --] --vgroup [ ---btn003: button "btn003" ---btn004: button "btn004" ---btn005: button "btn005" --] --vgroup [ ---btn006: button "btn006" ---btnNNN: button "btnNNN" --] -] options [spacing: 12x20] ]

I would prefer non-static sizing/positioning. Maybe just an empty label! I'm at home about to go to bed. I'll try your method in the morning. Thank you for the help!

Is this REBOL 2, or do we assume that most of the experimenting with REBOL has moved on to R3? If REBOL 2, are you aware of the "space" and "pad" options? Default spacing: R E B O L [ ] view layout [ across button "button 1" button "button 2" return button "button 3" button "button 4" ] The "space" keyword for setting the spacing of all window styles: R E B O L [ ] view layout [ space 50x50 across button "button 1" button "button 2" return button "button 3" button "button 4" ] The "pad" keyword for adding space piece-by-piece as it were: R E B O L [ ] view layout [ across button "button 1" pad 50x0 button "button 2" return pad 0x50 button "button 3" pad 50x0 button "button 4" ]

Thanks, Steven! I tried pad and it worked fine. But I threw in some blank labels to get the look I want, without having to specify point dimensions. If I change the interface, I don't want to have to change all my static spacing/padding. It's nice to just shuffle the interface (if I ever have to) without worrying about pixel-based sizing and positioning. It's ugly, though. Here's what I've got: view center-face layout [ -across -btn "Send iNet Email" -return -label "" -return -btn "Zip Authorizer" -btn "Add Inventory" -return -below -label "" -btn "Template Authorizer" -btn "View iNet History" -btn "View Log File" -btn "Exit" [quit] ] I'm going to look into centering the buttons on the window and getting them to expand horizontally to fill the space.
