Anchoring to what...
The Ruleset Wizard gives you a bunch of GUI options that are much easier to work with in my opinion.
There are some videos here on Anchoring that might help.

Otherwise explain/share what you are trying to do and hopefully we can work it out together!

Thanks. I am trying to anchor container to a frame, and then anchor UI input elements within that container.
But I am really a baby when it comes to this. I am not even sure what questions to ask.
So I am going to watch these vids and do some experimentation. Then I can have more focused questions, I hope.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you're talking about a subwindow/container object, they will contain a separate window class. You would need to create the window class that the container points to with the layout you want within the subwindow/container.
If you're talking about creating a generic framed control, after you position/size the frame; you would want to use the <anchored to="framename" position="insidetopleft" offset="#,#" width="#" height="#" /> to position controls within the field (assuming you want to position from the top/left corner of the frame with a fixed width and height).
Generally, I find it easiest to use an existing ruleset, and make minor adjustments to learn the system first.
I don't use the ruleset wizard at all, just define controls with positions relative to parent window and/or other controls.

Its a Ruleset Wizard question. You cant really mix coding in and out of the Wizard. You do it all in the Wizard. You can code by hand in the Wizard but you cant edit the files outside of the Wizard as they will get over-written when you regenerate the PAK file.
